“I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day”

Back in 2011, ECW contributor Meg Groeling wrote about the beloved Christmas song “I Heard the Bells,” originally written as a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in the wake of the fighting at Mine Run in 1863. It is a longstanding tradition to re-share this article every year.

We invite you to take a moment to read her original post, and to fondly remember everything Meg contributed to the Emerging Civil War community.

Merry Christmas.
