This patriotic musical poem was first printed in the June issue of The Atlantic monthly and also as part of a program for a prize-giving ceremony at the Boston Latin School on May 25, 1861, just a few weeks after Confederate forces began firing on Fort Sumter. Many handbill printings of the hymn followed, including this one from New York. Lyrics to The army hymn, no. 2. Air : old hundred by Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894)
