The Burning Of Chambersburg, July 30Th, 1864, A Poem

By Samuel R. Fisher

Flames on a quiet Pennsylvanian street. A town burns at dawn. In The Burning Of Chambersburg, July 30Th, 1864, A Poem, Samuel R. Fisher turns the July 1864 raid into a vivid civil war poem that carries the shock of the moment and the ache that follows. Written as historical American verse with the urgency of lived experience, this narrative war poem tracks the burning of Chambersburg and the human cost of a Confederate raid in Pennsylvania. It speaks to the civil war home front as much as the battlefield: fear, loss, endurance, and the moral reckonings that ripple through ordinary lives when history arrives at the door. For civil war history readers, it offers a rare literary lens on Chambersburg Pennsylvania 1864; for lovers of classic verse, it stands as a distinctive piece of civil war poetry that sits naturally beside any civil war poetry anthology. It also serves well as a classroom primary source poem, bringing voice and feeling to the facts. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, and a complete text edition for readers who want the period's language, cadence, and witness preserved.
