Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 5. (ed. Frank Moore), 12. one year ago. (search)
12. one year ago. by Horatio Alger, Jr. One year ago our glorious flag Lay trailing in the dust, Rent were the grand old stars and stripes By treason's deadly thrust. One year ago, and every cheek Was tinged with manly shame, And eyes flashed fire of storm and ire At sound of Sumter's name. One year ago, and treason stood With scornful mien and high, And blotted out, one after one, The stars that lit our sky, Oh! fearful shame and foul disgrace, That Freedom's holy lamp Should turn unto a baleful torch To light a rebel camp! Then, then it was our hearts were stirred By one electric thrill-- A remnant of the ancient fire That blazed on Bunker Hill-- And every hill-top caught the flame That heralds war's alarms, When on the startled ear there rang The clarion cry: “To arms!” State after State with loyal zeal Marched manful to the front, Contending which should strike the first, And which should bear the brunt. The grand uprising of that time Shall live in deathless song, The pr

y precept. Chief among these writers (who wrote solely for children) were Elijah Kellogg His sounding declamatory piece Spartacus to the Gladiators was long familiar to every school boy. (1813-1900), William Taylor Adams (1822-97), and Horatio Alger, Jr. (1832-99). Their careers began about 1860. Kellogg's several series of stories of Maine deal with the adventures of fishermen and farmers. Though more carefully written than were the other two, they have no merit of literary form beyond tis true, slovenly, and their smart heroes are given to cheap declamation; but their material is all clean, effective, and interesting. The Starry flag, Soldier boy, and Young America series merited the delight of two generations of boys. Horatio Alger, Jr., once a Unitarian minister, wrote seventy volumes, most of their titles summoning apt alliteration's artful aid. They told of bootblacks and newsboys, from systematic personal observation in the streets of New York City. His simple and inv
