註釋As an old man, after a distinguished career as one of the leading American scientists of the 19th Century, Nathaniel Southgate Shaler wrote of a topic from his own past--his experiences as an artillery officer during the Civil War. And he wrote in a form in which he had no prior history--poetry. In these remarkable poems, Shaler relived his own war experiences--the kind that never leave someone who has been through them--and recounted stories he had gathered from other veterans of that war. Editor R.L. Barth, himself a veteran and writer of war, has provided an illuminating introduction, useful notes, and a short history of the Kentucky Campaign of 1862, which was the setting for a number of Shaler's poems.
