About the Author

James Russell Lowell (1819-1891) was an American poet, critic, and diplomat.  A strong opponent of slavery, he wrote steadfastly in support of Lincoln and the Union cause in the pages of the North American Review, which he co-edited with Charles Eliot Norton.  Later in life, he served as American ambassador to Spain and then England.
