Lincoln Discussion Symposium

You know her for writing “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." But did you know she also wrote a poem about JWB's flight from justice when she was only 17 years old? Voice by Valarie Miller who is a featured performer at Dollywood and a young lady I have known since she was a baby. (She also is my Fanny Seward, I'll post that later)

Hope to see many of you in three weeks at Ford's 150 !! I'll be covering the event as overtly the law will allow LOL

David, thank you for this posting. I did not know of this poem.

There are so many great poems about Lincoln's assassination. I have collected and recorded many of them. I stumbled across this one by chance one day. I found another entitled The Dear President, by John James Piatt. I'll post it soon.
