The Civil War era poem, Kentucky Belle, by Constance Fenimore Woolson, was once a well-known work of American literature loved and memorized by many American school children. The poem is based upon what the author vowed was a real-life experience once relayed to her when visiting an Ohio area seized with the fear of "Morgan's Raid," [For a powerpoint on the specifics of the life of Confederate General John Hunt Morgan--the famous 'raider' of the Confederacy, see the Powerpoint under that name in the 'PROGRAM' section of this Blog in the column to the right.]

Some or all of the content from the Powerpoint along with the poem make a great "teaching combo!"
