Item Overview

Description

RANDALL, James Ryder (1839-1908) was an American journalist and poet. He is best remembered as the author of "Maryland, My Maryland". He is most remembered for writing the poem "Maryland, My Maryland," which is also the reason for his being called the "Poet Laureate of the Lost Cause". It became a war hymn of the Confederacy after the poem's words were set to the tune "Lauriger Horatius" (the tune of O Tannenbaum) during the Civil War by Jennie Cary, a member of a prominent Maryland and Virginia family. It later became the state song of Maryland. Randall wrote the poem after learning that his friend Francis X. Ward, of Randallstown, Maryland, was killed by the 6th Massachusetts Militia in the Baltimore Riot of April 19, 1861. The work was first published a week later on April 26, in the New Orleans newspaper The Sunday Delta. Autograph Letter Signed "James R. Randall", on Augusta Chronicle Newspaper letterhead, Augusta, August 23, 1907 written to the Editor of The Citizen. In large part "Enclosed please find a negative which may suit your purpose. On Sept 12 next I will be the guest of honor of the State of Maryland, at Jamestown on Maryland Day. That would be the best time to present my picture. ...."
