A war song once hearll much olteu' i

lJy S. H. M. Dyers , a natlvo of Ponn.

MoInes , Ia. We have from his own
pen the following account or' how ho
happened to wrlto this song :
"It was the mlddlo of November ,
186,1. Shorman's great army , after
months of fightlns. hlld captured the
city of Atlanta In Georgia. Ono morn.
ing the news was sent alJout the ,
North that Atlanta hnd heen blown
up , anll t.hat Sherman , with 65,000 soldiers -
diers and many cannon , had cut loose
from his base and was marching , no-
lJody Imow whore. lIls soldiers had ,
In fllct , started on that wonderful
cnmpalgn towarll the ocean which had
for Its olJject the cutting In two oC the I
south l'n confedoracy. Presldont Lln'l

by tho. sell. his 'lJluecoats' would como' '
out , but ho had man ' ships of war
sailing up and dowJ1 the coast watchIng -
Ing for them , ready to help them anll
f-Ai glvo them suppllos. These ships
! lrod cannon ever ) ' day amI sent up
roclwts at night to lot Sherman's sol-
lIlors Imow they wore waiting for
them. In the North many thought
Shorman's 1I1'1n ' was lost In the forests -
ests aud swamps oC G'orgla. Not one
word of news came from them for
\\'eolts. Dut all this time they were
I successfully fighting their way
through forests , across Illantatlons
and rvors ( anll nlal'chlng toward the
ocean. Great consternation sot In
throughout the South , for no ono
Imow what town or clt ' woulll lJo next
to fall. '
"It so happened that the town of
Columllla , the capital of South Caro.

North were fastened up Insldo 11. high-

Iy I still recall how wo prlsonors

far to our right , forl ' miles away. Wo
Ilrlsoners were allowed no news from

"A vivid plcturo of the marvelous
march formed Itself In my mlnll ono
night whllo I wns walldng up and
down the prison pen tr 'lng to leeep

It with a poem came to mo ; It aU
seemed so romantic , so plcturesquo , so

and In a day or so forgot all about It.
"It happened there was a spendlll
glee clulJ among the prisoners ; they
also had violins and flutes. They were
allowed to sing every nfternoon on the
steps of the little prison hospital.
They made delightful music for us
prlsonors , and hundreds of the cltl.
zons lJesldes , crowded on top of the
walls to hoar the Yanlees sIng. What
was m ' surprlso ono afternoon to hear

telI the assembled crowd they were to
sing a song alJout Sherman ! Greater
still my surprlso when the words of
