IV. after living the romantic life of soldiers, sealed a memorable friendship by a common suffering in the prison at Point Lookout. The feeling of the South as represented by all these poets first expressed itself in music. Southern soldiers were quick to seize upon Dixie, the words of which had been written by Dan D. Emmett for Bryant's minstrels in 1859. Except for the refrain and a few haunting phrases, the words were totally inadequate, but the music proved to be the chief inspiration of Southern armies throughout the long conflict. Sung for the first time by Mrs. John Wood in New Orleans late in 1860, it was taken up by the Louisiana regiments and was soon heard by the campfires and hearthstones of the South. From New Orleans, too, came The Bonnie blue flag, an old Hibernian melody, with words writte

he meanwhile general consent was being given to a song and to a hymn which are more and more popular with the lapse of time. These are Dixie and The battle hymn of the Republic. The original Dixie was composed on forty-eight hours notice by Dan D. Emmett in September, 1859. He was then under contract with Bryant's Minstrels, New York, as musician and composer of negro melodies and plantation walk-arounds. On a bleak northern Sunday he composed this rush order around the showman's autumnal af which is known everywhere in America. Fanny J. Crosby's attempt to regain the tune for the North with her On ye patriots to the battle was wholly unsuccessful; the other Southern variants died away; Pike's version is now a literary memory; but Emmett's original words and music still bring people to their feet as no other song in America does. They stand in deference to the tradition of The Star Spangled banner, but they rise to Dixie itself. The melody for The battle hymn of the Republic
