Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of poems primarily focused on themes of war, temperance, love, faith, nature, and mortality. Written by an Ohio author whose work was popular in the latter half of the 19th century, many of these poems commemorate contemporary events and places throughout Ohio. The poems reflect the nuances of the American Civil War and its aftermath, the rise of the temperance movement, and the era's profound religious sentiments, all within the context of the author's personal experiences of love, loss, and spirituality. Particularly notable are the poems that memorialize the campus of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, as well as poems that reflect the author's deep affinity for the topography and history of his home county, Miami County. Through its diverse poetic forms and eloquent turns of phrase, this book provides a glimpse into the social, cultural, and political panorama of the American Midwest in the 19th century.
