The well-known martial elegy. The bivouac of the dead, and a lyric called The old pioneer, penned at the grave of Daniel Boone, by the same author, are included in this little volume with a story of the poems and a brief biography of Theodore O’Hara prepared with the full cooperation of his family. The whole forms a fitting tribute to the Kentucky soldier-poet.
