Anthology of American history poems collected and edited by author and librarian Burton Egbert Stevenson (1872 - 1962). In assembling this anthology some were included for "its historical or political interest" because it is an expression of its time and place; these verse are often marked by admirable, spontaneous energy. Others, retropective ballads so to speak ("Paul Revere's Ride", for instance), were chosen because of their power to touch the heart and grip the imagination. A fiery protest against clerical oppessors by John Greenleaf Whittier, 1835, reads: "Just God! and these are they/Who minister at thine altar, God of Right!/Men who their hands with prayer and blessing lay/On Israel's Ark of Light!/What! preach, and kidnap men?/Give thanks, and rob thy own afflicted poor?/Talk of thy glorious liberty, and then/Bolt hard the captive's door?" Poems arranged by subject matter & historical sequence; author, first line, and title indices to rear. Strong copy despite flaws.
