Excerpt from A Chronological Table of the Battles of the Civil War in VerseOR years the slaves had bowed their heads, Beneath oppression's chain But when loved Lincoln grasped the helm, N o trace did e'en remain, Twas April 12th, the first gun pealed On Sumter's granite walls, The 19th instant shed first blood, Massachusetts men did fall Philippi, Bethel, Booneville too, With Carthage next, I ween, Rich Mountain, fatal Carricks Ford, With Bull Run in between Next came the troops to Wilson's Creek And Hatteras Inlet strong, Carnifex Ferry, Lexington, Ball's Blufi', remembered long, Because the barges sank and rolled, So sad for tongue to tell, The North was called to mourn her loss, There Colonel Baker fell.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
