Description

This is a photograph taken of Samuel H.M. Byers at the onset of the Civil War in 1861. Byers served in the Union Army during the Civil War and gained a great deal of inspiration for his poetic writing during the war. Byers's most famous work is a poem entitled "Sherman's March to the Sea" recapping events that took place during this famous piece of American history. Byers is also credited with writing the state song of Iowa, played to the melody of "O, Christmas Tree". After gaining fame and fortune from his writing, Byers pursued a career in diplomacy, serving in the U.S. Consulate in Switzerland and Italy. Byers then came back to the U.S., living out the remainder of his days in Los Angeles, California. Byers died in 1933, at the age 95.
