Biographical details

Andrew Devilbiss,  To the Memory of Jackson (c/1861)

“ He died to show us how to die,
And ne‘er before the foe to fly,
They‘ll meet death with unflinching eye,
On Old Virginia‘s soil.
Then welcome on you Northern horde,
Now Southern men have grasped the sword,
And I give you all my word,
They‘ll meet you all the while.
There‘s many a Jackson yet to slay,
Ere those vandals win the day;
They may destroy, but ne‘er can sway,
The sons of Southern soil.
Hopkins, Printer, 823 New Levee-st.
This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
