Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Sheet music cover for "We Are Coming Father Abra'am 300,000 more" *"We Are Coming, Father Abra'am 300,000 More", a poem written by James S. Gibbons, was set to music by eight different composers, including Stephen Foster. William Cullen Bryant published one version (with music by Luther Orlando Emerson (1820-1915). Bryant's newspaper originally published the poem and, because it was originally published anonymously, many assumed it was his, and it was widely republished, so Bryant issued a statement denying his authorship. The poem and music came in response to a call by Abraham Lincoln on July 1 for volunteers to fight the American Civil War.
