From the first colonial landings to the thunder of the Civil War, the story of a nation unfolds in verse. Every battle leaves an echo. Edited and arranged by Burton Egbert Stevenson, Poems of American History is a sweeping american history poetry anthology that gathers ballads, lyrics and narrative pieces into one historical narrative poetry anthology, a classic American poetry collection in its own right. Organised broadly from colonial America to Civil War and after, these united states history poems trace moments of struggle, courage and vision: exploration, revolution, union, conflict and renewal. Voices from across the young republic, including favourites cherished by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow fans, offer stirring poems about American heroes, quiet scenes of endurance, and searching reflections on war and freedom poetry. Strongly patriotic yet often questioning, it is an ideal source of patriotic poems for adults, a civil war poetry anthology, and a thoughtful homeschool American history supplement or gift for history lovers. First published in the early twentieth century, this landmark volume reflects how Americans once remembered and re-imagined their past in song, making it both a literary treasury and a window onto cultural memory. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. More than a reference, it appeals equally to casual readers of verse and to those building a serious library of historical and classic American poetry.
