The photographic history of the Civil War : in ten volumes . n his first laurels IN MEMORIAM PELHAM Just as the spring came laughing through the strife, With all its gorgeous cheer,In the bright April of historic life Fell the great cannoneer.

Nobler and grander than the child of Rome, Curbing his chariot steeds,The knightly scion of a Southern home Dazzled the land with deeds. Gentlest and bravest in the battles brunt— The Champion of the Truth—He bore his banner in the very front Of our immortal youth.
