A humble heroine : A new poem /
McGonagall, William.
[Edinburgh : s.n.,
1899?]
In two columns with a coat of arms above the title.
In verse.
'Composed, August 1899'.
First lines read: Twas at the Seige of Matagarda, during the Peninsular War, / That a Mrs Reston for courage outshone any man there by far; / She was the wife of a Scottish soldier in Matagarda Fort, / And to attend to her husband she there did resort.
