Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 8. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Literary notices. (search)
O'Hara and his Elegies. By George W. Ranck, Lexington, Kentucky. We are indebted to the accomplished author for a copy of this beautful little volume, which is in every sense a literary gem. The biographical sketch of O'Hara, tracing his life from his birth in Danville, Kentucky, through his career as politician, editor, soldier, in Mexico and in the Confederate service (where he served with great distinction as Colonel of the Twelfth Alabama regiment, and on the staff of General Albert Sidney Johnston and General John C. Breckinridge), and his career after the war until his death in 1867, is admirably done, and shows the author a master of this style of writing. And no competent critie can read the two exquisite poems given as specimens--The bivouac of the dead and The old Pioneer--without pronouncing them gems of the first water, and concurring with Mr. Ranck in the very high estimate he places upon the genius of the author. We are also indebted to Mr. Ranck for a splendi

Even at Missionary Ridge, in command of the right, he not only held his own, and repulsed all assaults upon him, b

recollections of an important incident of your official visit to the headquarters of General Albert Sidney Johnston, at Bowling Green, Kentucky, early in the month of February, 1862. Upon leaving Cte forces in the West, you proceeded directly to Bowling Green to report to and confer with General Johnston; while, under your instructions, I repaired to Richmond to discuss with the Confederate Sec, your views of the exigent character of the situation were invited and fully made known to General Johnston; further, that you were induced to draw up a paper carefully setting forth those views, whi the time, as near as I can now recollect, the Confederate forces immediately disposable by General Johnston were the command at Bowling Green, a little over 23,000 men; the remains of the late Generaoncentrated for any decisive operation. Your immediate recommendation, however, was that General Johnston should go with his force from Bowling Green to Fort Donelson, and there fall upon and crush
