Written by Catholic priest and CS Army Chaplain A.J. Ryan and first published in June 1865, the poem became a sentimental “Lost Cause” favorite and the image, initialed “B.B.H.”, was published in several different forms. CONDITION: Very good. Period frame with wood backing. (B) Engraved portrait of Stonewall Jackson by Currier and Ives, with facsimile signature. CONDITION: Very good. Minor dust and surface dirt. Small stain at bottom. Modern frame. No glass. Neither examined out of frames.
