On Fame's eternal camping ground One of the most quoted poets in American history is also one of the least known. Key lines from Theodore O'Hara's "The Bivouac of the Dead" can be found in cemeteries and on monuments throughout the country, especially the South, and as far away...
Their silent tents are spread,
And Glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead.
--from "The Bivouac of the Dead" by Theodore O'Hara
