Although a number of accounts place Julia Ward Howe, wife of Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe, in the vicinity when she received the inspiration to write the words to "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", the account of Mr. A. J. Bloor, assistant secretary of the U. S. Sanitary Commission gives a different version. He and Dr. Howe met Mrs. Howe and her party at Upton's Hill, near Seven Corners, where they observed preparations for General George McClellan's grand review of 70,000 troops. Her poem followed, written that night at the Willard Hotel in Washington.
