Beautiful new reprint of the 1866 volume collection of Civil War poems!
Renowned for his novels Moby-Dick and Billy Budd, Herman Melville (1819-1891) also composed this volume of lyric poems about the Civil War. Their subjects include the hanging of abolitionist John Brown; the battles of Bull Run, Shiloh, and Gettysburg; and Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Students and scholars of American literature and history, as well as Civil War enthusiasts, will welcome this outstanding new publication of a long-neglected volume of political poetry by one of America's classic novelists.
