Abstract:

Many people recognize the name of Sidney Lanier, the famous Georgia poet who was born in 1842. Fewer people know, however, that he died in 1881, at Lynn, near Tryon in Polk County, where he had moved seeking relief from the tuberculosis he had contracted while being held in a Federal prison during the Civil War.
