Francis Fisher Browne

Francis Fisher Browne (1843–1913) was an American editor and poet, born at South Halifax, Vermont. After serving as a volunteer in the Union army he went to Chicago, where in 1880 he founded the critical semi-monthly The Dial.

He wrote The Every-Day Life of Abraham Lincoln (1886) and the poems Volunteer Grain (1895). Stedman included three of his poems in An American Anthology (1900), from which the poems here are taken.
