Title: The Rebelliard, or Rebellion Poem: An Heroic Poem in Five Cantos
Description: Amherst, MA, Storrs & M'Cloud, 1869. Paperback. 16mo. Original printed yellow wrappers. 36pp. Fair. Outer wrappers slightly soiled and delicate and edgeworn. Probable sole edition. Topical poem, "from an old manuscript copy found lying among old records & c," here published for the first time "with the view that the sons of their Alma Mater, and their cousins of sister colleges, will be glad to have some record of this famous Rebellion" -- a now-obscure altercation involving students and well-known Harvard faculty members. Violence, high oratory, chest-thumping.. everything but pie-throwing. Most unusual. Not in Sabin. .
