Barbara Frietchie

John Greenleaf Whittier's famous poem about General Stonewall Jackson"s march through Frederick, Maryland during the Civil War. Winston Churchill recited this poem in its entirety on his visit to Shangri-La with President Franklin Roosevelt, and every school child in the state of Maryland was required to memorize the poem by heart. Parker gives us flags of the Civil War, background on the coming battle, and biographies of the author and the general. A must for the Civil War shelf.

Book One in the trilogy of American patriotic poems that also includes Paul Revere's Ride, and Sheridan's Ride.
