Epigram On The Battle Of Gettysburg
[in memory of my cousin, Edwin B. Coddington,
foremost historian of the Battle of Gettysburg]
I wonder if the ghosts of Washington,
Henry, Franklin, Adams and Jefferson
paused to inquire, "Why did we leave undone
"the abolition of all slavery?"---
Fourth of July, in 1863.
