POETESS FANNY BORLAND

   Looking for poems and information of Fanny Green (Borland) Moores (1848AR-1879TN),she's eldest daughter of U. S. Senator, Solon Borland,
M. D., from Arkansas 1848-1853.

      Several of her poems were reportedly distributed within the literary circles of London by Father Abram Ryan following the Confederate States Civil War.

      Her work was heralded by Generals Harrell & Pike of the CSA.

      At least one, --- "The Dead Confederacy" was published 21 Dec 1871 in London's Cosmopolitan, possibly signed as Violet Lea. This work was written at Princeton, Arkansas in 1865, after the war ceased.

      Its said her work appeared in newspapers and other like publcations of her time, never assembled in booklet form which I'm attempting to do now some 126 years after her demise.

We have found:

The Dead Confederacy, 12/21/1871, London's Cosmopolitan, & 1/21/1872 Ark Gazette

At My Fathers Feet, 1933, "The Poets and Poetry of Ark"

David O Dodd, 1933, "The Poets and Poetry of Ark" & PCHS's "Review", Fall 1981

Judge Not By The Outward Look, 11/29/1862, Ark Gazzette,

To My Son's Scrap-Book, 3/23/1873, rk Gazzette

Other known but missing work:

The Baby of Lillie

Dilsey at The North

Born Dead

and a 1878 tribute to Colonel Harvey Washington Walter's death by yellow fever.
