To The
Army Correspondents
and
Artists
1861 – 65
Whose Toils
Cheered the Camps
Thrilled the Fireside
Educated Provinces of Rustics
Into a Bright Nation
of Readers
and Gave Incentive
To Narrate Distant Wars
And Explore Dark Lands
Erected by Subscription
1896
O wondrous youth
Through this grand truth
Runs my boy’s life, its thread
The General’s fame, the battle’s name
The rolls of maimed and dead
I bear with my thrilled soul astir
And lonely thoughts and fears
And am but history’s courier
To bind the conquering years
A battle’s ray, through ages gray
To light to deeds sublime
And flash the lustre of my day
Down all the aisles of time
