Description
1864 Civil War 1st/1st In War Time Whittier Quaker Slavery Slave Abolition



“…on the whole, the most American of all our poets, and there is a fire of warlike patriotism in him that burns all the more intensely that is smothered by his creed” -North American Review, 1864



A first edition, first printing of the poetical work, In War Time by the esteemed “fireside poet,” John Greenleaf Whittier. Devout quaker and ardent abolitionist, Whittiers beliefs and ethics were unmistakably intertwined within the words of these Civil War-era poems. Notably, this book also features the first book appearance of Barbara Frietchie, the poem which was the basis for two silent films in the early 20th-century.
