Farewells

Farewells

by Abram Joseph Ryan

This book, a collection of poems by Abram Joseph Ryan, is a poignant reflection of the American South during the Civil War era. Ryan, a Catholic priest and fervent supporter of the Confederacy, channeled his grief, patriotism, and faith into powerful verse. The poems often address themes of loss, separation, and the enduring spirit of the Southern people amidst hardship. While Ryan's perspective is undoubtedly shaped by his Confederate loyalties, his work also explores universal emotions like love, faith, and the human struggle against adversity.
