| Summary | "Poems of American History" by Burton Egbert Stevenson is a collection of poetry that reflects on significant moments in American history, compiled and edited in the early 20th century. The anthology gathers poems from various authors that address historical events, cultural milestones, and the overarching narrative of American identity. Covering a wide timeline, this collection is likely to resonate with readers interested in both poetry and history. At the start of this volume, the reader is introduced to themes of discovery and exploration as reflected through poetry. The opening selections recount the story of the Norsemen who reached the shores of America long before Columbus, blending historical accounts with poetic renditions of their journeys. These early poems set the stage for the collection, showcasing the blending of history and literature to evoke the spirit and struggles of those who shaped America, thereby establishing a foundation upon which the rest of the anthology is built.
