Author Description

Excerpt from Under the Red Patch: Story of the Sixty Third Regiment, Pennslvania God help them when the tempest swings The pine against the palm! No more words; Try it with your swords! Try it with the arms of your bravest and your best! You are proud of your manhood, now put it to the test; Not another word; Try it by the sword! No more notes! Try it by the throats Of the cannons that will roar till the earth and air be shaken, For they speak what they mean, and they cannot be mistaken! No more doubt; Come - fight it out! You that in the front Bear the battles' brunt When the sun gleams at dawn on the bayonets abreast, Remember 'tis for government and country you contest; For love of all you guard.
