Excerpt from Gettysburg: And Other Poems

In response to an invitation extended on behalf of the Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the State Board of Commissioners on Gettysburg Monuments by Colonel John P. Nicholson, secretary of the Board, the poem which leads this collection was composed, and was pronounced at the dedication of the Pennsylvania monuments on the battle-field of Gettysburg on September 12, 1889.

Some of the earlier poems, "The Old Church at the Trappe" and "The Perkiomen," found their way into Longfellow's "Poems of Places." Under another title the poem "Tacey Richardson's Race" was included in a collection of poems about horseback riding, entitled "In the Saddle," and published by Houghton, Mifflin & Co., in 1882. Its present title was adopted at the suggestion of Mr. Longfellow.

These poems, with a few others not hitherto published, are now for the first time brought together.
