Excerpt from Poems of the Confederacy: Being Selections From the Writings of Major Henry T. Stanton of Kentucky Confederate Reunion, hoping to derive from its sale a sufh cient sum to place a modest stone over his grave. To Kentuckians he needs no introduction, his name being familiar in every household. He was gifted with unusual poet ical genius, which manifested itself early and was improved by a finished education. His metrical accuracy was rare, and even in his most impromptu efforts a false measure can scarcely be found. His pen seemed equal to any subject, clothing in appropriate verse both the humorous and the grave, the trite and the heroic. He was a native of Alexandria, Va., where he was born June 30, 1834, but was brought to Kentucky in the following year by-his father, Hon. R. H. Stanton, who afterward became a distinguished congressman and judge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
