Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia: J. P. Lippincott, 1865. First edition. Small octavo. Publisher's green cloth with gilt spine lettering, brown endpapers, top edge gilt. An excellent copy. "A lyrical embodiment of General Phillip Henry Sheridan’s October 19, 1864, ride to rally Union troops at the battle of Cedar Creek, the poem’s patriotic theme and the general’s heroism encouraged audiences throughout the North. “The affrighted air with a shudder bore,” Read writes, “…Telling the battle was on once more, And Sheridan twenty miles away.” When the war ended, the Union League of Philadelphia commissioned Read to bring his textual design to life in a painting" (Pennsylvania Center for the Book).
