e Mrs. Ticknor taught Giffen to read and write, and his deep gratitude toward the Ticknors leaves only one solution to his fate. How he met it, however, remains as obscure as his family history. That his father was a blacksmith in the mountains of East Tennessee is the only positive fact of his ancestry. He was sixteen years of age when taken by Mrs. Ticknor and had been engaged in eighteen battles and skirmishes. it will thus be seen that the boy was wounded in one of the battles about Atlanta when Johnston and Hood were opposing Sherman. We may suppose that the Captain's reply, given in the poem, was written after the battle of Nashville, December 15-16, 1864. in March, 1865, Johnston was again opposing Sherman, this time in the Carolinas, and it must have been in one of the closing battles of the war that little Giffen lost his life. Out of the focal and foremost fire, Out of the hospital walls as dire, Smitten of grape-shot and gangrene, （Eighteenth battle, and he sixteen!)

home of the sixteenth Massachusetts infantry, July 27, 1864 This scene of 1864, at the corner of Cambridge and Fourth Streets, East Cambridge, is in mournful contrast to the rejoicing which filled the nation the next year while Lowell was reading his ode in Harvard University. As these riders passed through Cambridge the Wilderness campaign had been fought, with little, apparently, accomplished to compensate for the fearful loss of life. Sherman was still struggling in the vicinity of Atlanta, far from his base of supplies, with no certainty of escaping an overwhelming defeat. Early had recently dashed into the outskirts of Washington. In fact an influential political party was about to declare the war a failure. So these Massachusetts troops returned with heavy hearts to be mustered out. Many of them reenlisted, to fight with the armies that captured Petersburg, and to be present at the surrender at Appomattox. Then they could return with those of whom Lowell sang: America

The destruon of its industries Sherman declared to be a military necessity. Atlanta contained the largest foundries and machine-shops south of Richmonngements for the march to the sea, that on every road leading into Atlanta the ties were burned, the rails torn up and then twisted so as to oon the heart of the city was burned out completely.

Ruins in Richmond as the war was drawing to a close These faithful reproductions show the desolation war leaves in its track. The paper mill is a mass of ruins, with retreat southward. In 1864 he obstructed Sherman in his advance on Atlanta, as alluded to in the poem, and in the march to the sea. In 1865,

ers gone before, Shouting the battlecry of freedom. And we'll fill the vacant ranks with a million freemen more, Shouting the battlecry of freedom. Marching through Georgia Henry Clay Work Written in honor of Sherman's famous march from Atlanta to the sea. Bring the good old bugle, boys, we'll sing another song— Sing it with a spirit that will start the world along— Sing it as we used to sing it, fifty thousand strong, While we were marching through Georgia. Chorus— ‘Hurrah! Hurrah! we bring the jubilee, Hurrah! Hurrah! the flag that makes you free!’ So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea, While we were marching through Georgia. How the darkeys shouted when they heard the joyful sound! How the turkeys gobbled which our commissary found! How the sweet potatoes even started from the ground, While we were marching through Georgia. The Southern Marseillaise A. E. Blackmar, 1861 This was the rallying song of the Confederacy. It was sung throughout the Sou
