[PW] Re: Query regarding poem about Stonewall Jackson

[TED NESBITT]

The poem is by Rosemary and Stephen Vincent Benet, on pages 80-81 of "A Book of Americans," 1933.

"Fool Tom" Jackson
Aren't you tired of teaching,
Teaching boys tactics
In a dusty study hall?
"I read Napoleon's Maxims
And the Book of Kings and Prophets.
I hear a wind rising I wait for a call."

There are three more stanzas.  I can type them out or fax them to the original requestor, if you'll send me a fax number.
