Catherine Ann Ware Warfield

Catherine Ann Ware Warfield (1816–1877) was an American poet and novelist from Mississippi and Kentucky. Eggleston prints her as Catherine M. Warfield; her Manassas celebrates the first Confederate victory of the Civil War.

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 it is printed under his or her name: Manassas.
