The Blest Ones At Home Hymn Parodied In 1853 Zion’s Herald
A lengthy piece notes a new version of Old Folks at Home titled The Blest Ones at Home. It weaves religious sentiment with political commentary, cites the Whig vs Democrat clashes, temperance appeals, and a call for funds to support a national movement. Mentions Maine, Lecturers, and a collecting effort led by A. A. Stewart to raise ten thousand dollars.
