John D. Billings, Hardtack and Coffee: The Unwritten Story of Army Life, chapter 3 (search)
II. enlisting. O, did you see him in the street dressed up in army blue, When drums and trumpets into town their storm of music threw-- A louder tune than all the winds could muster in the air, The Rebel winds that tried so hard our flag in strips to tear? Lucy Larcom. Hardly had the Three months men reached the field before it was discovered that a mistake had been made in not calling out a larger number of troops, and for longer service;--it took a long time to realize what a gigantic rebellion we had on our hands. So on the 3d of May President Lincon issued a call for United States volunteers to serve three years, unless sooner discharged. At once thousands of loyal men sprang to arms — so large a number, in fact, that many regiments raised were refused until later. The methods by which these regiments were raised were various. In 1861 a common way was for some one who had been in the regular army, or perhaps who had been prominent in the militia, to take the initiati

X. Raw recruits. She asked for men, and up he spoke, my handsome and hearty Sam, “I'll die for the dear old Union, if she'll take me as I am ”: And if a better man than he there's mother that can show, From Maine to Minnesota, then let the people know. Lucy Larcom. Many facts bearing upon the subject of this sketch have been already presented in the opening chapter, but much more remains to be told, and the reader will pardon me, I trust, for now injecting a little bit of personal history to illustrate what thousands of young men were doing at that time, and had been doing for months, as it leads up directly to the theme about to be considered. After I had obtained the reluctant consent of my father to enlist,--my mother never gave hers,--the next step hecessary was to make selection of the organization with which to identify my fortunes. I well remember the to me eventful August evening when that decision to enlist was arrived at. The Union army, then under McClellan, had

to Northern hearts; our hard-earned homes more dear; But Freedom is beyond the price of any earthly cheer; And Freedom's flag is sacred ;--he who would work it harm, Let him, although a brother, beware our strong right arm! A brother! ah, the sorrow, the anguish of that word! The fratricidal strife begun, when shall its end be heard? Not this the boon that patriot hearts have prayed and waited for;-- We loved them, and we longed for peace: but they would have it war. Yes; war on this memorial day, the day of Lexington, A lightning-thrill along the wires from heart to heart has run. Brave men we gazed on yesterday, to-day for us have bled: Again is Massachusetts blood the first for freedom shed. To war — and with our brethren, then,--if only this can be! Life hangs as nothing in the scale against dear Liberty! Though hearts be torn asunder, we for Mother-Land will fight; Our blood may seal the victory, but God will shield the Right! Lucy Larcom, in the Boston Transcript, April 25

went down,—all of them poems which, with a larger eloquence than then appeared, sounded the knell of the wooden battleship. As might have been expected, defeat had more poets than victory; Boker, however, wrote The Cruise of the Monitor, and Lucy Larcom The sinking of the Merrimac. For the capture of New Orleans there were Boker's The ballad of New Orleans and The Varuna (the name of a Federal ship sunk during the action), while Brownell's The River fight was as triumphant as the attack. D Give Me Your hand, Johnny bull, a friendly, earnest bid for British sympathy. Still more interesting are the numerous pieces that reveal the feelings of sorrowing men and women at home, and of soldiers sick for home. Specially memorable are Lucy Larcom's Waiting for news, Kate Putnam Osgood's extraordinarily pathetic Driving home the Cows, C. D. Shanly's The Brier Wood Pipe, Augusta Cooper Bristol's Term of service ended, Read's The brave at home, The Drummer boy's burial (anonymous), and Wi

ir worst were never the puppets of the sensible Miss Edgeworth, and at their best had charm. Lucy Larcom's tribute to Mrs. Child in her New England girlhood may be bestowed upon all these writers: IHale, Rose Terry Cook, Bayard Taylor. It was edited by J. T. Trowbridge, Gail Hamilton, and Lucy Larcom; and later was merged into St. Nicholas, edited by Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge (1838-96). With thesly all English reprints and most of our every-day reading came to us from over the sea, wrote Lucy Larcom. Goodrich and Abbott and the women of the thirties no longer talk of English flowers and biristics of American juveniles. Those English children had to be so prim and methodical, wrote Lucy Larcom, they were never allowed to romp and run wild. The growing independence of American children merit, as witness the permanence of such ditties as Upidee and Good-bye, my Lover, Good-bye. Lucy Larcom and Alice and Phoebe Cary published books of childhood songs; and other women followed with
