Francis Miles Finch

Francis Miles Finch (1827–1907) was a New York judge and Cornell professor of law, whose poem The Blue and the Gray (1867) honoured the Northern and Southern dead alike.

The poems here are taken from American War Ballads and Lyrics, edited by George Cary Eggleston (New York and London: G. P. Putnam’s Sons, 1889), where they are printed under his or her name: Nathan Hale; The Blue and the Gray.
