Excerpt from Maryland, My Maryland and Other Poems
Mr. Randall was born in Maryland, and, although circumstances compelled him to live for many years far away from his native State, he never lost his intense love for the place of his birth, and it was the hope of his life, in later years, to close his career in dear old Maryland.
When he was last in Baltimore, he was persuaded to surrender to friends the stray poems, which he had written, at various times, that they might be published in book form.
His great poem, which Oliver Wendell Holmes declared to be the greatest war song of any nation.
