Stonewall Jackson's Way Authorship Contested Claim
E King of Wilmington NC says Longfellow did not credit any author for Stonewall Jackson's Way and he is the author. The poem on Confederate wrapping paper was sent to H. Rives Pollard of Richmond Enquirer. A leaf from a book carried the poem to a sergeant in Stonewall's command. It surfaced in Baltimore and in 1867 or 1868 a claim arose in New York. William Crittenden of Henrico found the original in a barrel nest used by a hen.
