Table of Contents:

Section I. October's captive
I know these mountains well
Hundreds of slaves were ready
A swath of blood
Clothed in rags and all his human weakness
I am ready for my fate
Section II. November's felon
Prejudice ruled that hour
Like a block of stone
In the uttermost parts of the sea
The days and nights in Charlestown
Editors, letters, and old friends
Section III. When in the perfect scheme of God
Virginia quakes, the South trembles in sympathy
The ashes of the past
The celebrity of the day
Now the tinder is ready
Ten thousand photographs
Section IV. December's martyr
Time seems a laggard
The majesty of death
Like a string that snaps
A text for the nation
Epilogue: a terrible vial.
