Ransom Mack Poem, undated
Jeneral Grants Grand.
In the early part of may
So the book of records say
Jeneral grant with the army of the union
notwithstanding rebels blows
determined where to go
to strike on the head of rebellion
At grand gulph we met them first
and there they got the worst
they withdrew from the field in
confusion
we captured several guns
and caused them all to run
and surrender to the army of
the union
At raymond next we came
and there it was the same
they trembled when they saw
us advancing
and when the charge was made
they prefered some other shade
and retreated in their own
stile of marching
we left our prisoners there
and to Jackson did repair
There we met the seignors of
rebellion
Palmeto boys did boast of their
rebellious host
but acknowledged for once
we did repell them
