Bagby was born in Virginia in 1828, and for a
number of years was the editor of the Southern Literary Messenger,
published at Richmond, Va. He was a frequent contributor
to current literature, and won well deserved literary laurels
in humorous writings, over the pen-name of "Mozis
Addums." He also achieved considerable success as a lecturer.
Some of his lyrics are exquisite. "The Empty Sleeve"
is a gem of this kind, full of homely but genuine pathos. In the department of correspondence of your
issue of November 29, appears an article attributing
the authorship of my "Lines on the back of a Confederate
Note," to a lady of your city. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
