Structure Indicates Authorship
The very structure of the poem, says
Major F'ontaine, indicates that 1t is from
the pen of Confederate or Confederate
sympathizer. In supporting this conten7
tion. Major Fontaine brings forward the
argument that during the early days of
the war, the federal soldiers adopted the
Scott tactics of drilling. while the Con-
federates were drilled according to the
Hardee system.
The position of the picket while on
duty, according to the Scott tactics, was
pretty much the same as the port arms"
now used. In other words, the federal
picket paced his beat with his gun sup
ported in the hollow of his elbow with his
left arm folded over u and upon his
side. The right hand was kept over the
lock of the gun, with the forefinger
on the trigger, while the thumb rested
upon the hammer of the gun. With one
movement he had his gun in position for
firing or charging with his bayonet, while
with the same movement, he cooked the
gun with his thumb
The Confederate, drilled by the Hardee
tactics, paced his beat with his gun in
the hollow of his left elbow, but with
the gun drawn up perpendicular to his
side. His right arm was free, and was
carried at the side. Thus it was neces-
sary for him to make three distinct move
ments when challenging, before his gun
was ready for action.
Method Determines Authorship
Now in claiming that these two meth
DDS of drilling are not without Importance
in, determining the fact that the poem
was written by one sympathizing with
the Confederate cause, and therefore
making the Confederate picket the hero
of the lines. Major Fontaine quotes the
following lines:
sThen drawing his sleeve roughly over
his eyes,
He dashes off tears that are yelling;
And gathers his gun up close to his
breast,
As if to keep down the hearts SWELL

Last Wound of the War
Just prior to the surrender of Lee at
Appomatox Major Fontaine received MS
last wound of the war, and one that rem
dered him wholly unfit for service; and
when again he was ready TO take the
field, the war was over, and the cause
for which he had spilled so much oil MS
hearts blood was lost forever.
Immediately after the war Major Fon-
taine left America for Brazil, where ne
spent some time as a teacher In uni
versity Afterwards he returned TO his
native land, his thirst for adventure
quenched and settled down to quiet
life in the Mississippi valley. And there
he now lives, content to live in the past
and enpoy the memories of The days when
his lifes blood coursed races through his
veins, and when the love for adventure
mastered his soul. He Is an old man
now, but hale and hearty. and lives a
quiet reminder of memorable days that
are passed.
His Famous Poem
As a poet, Major Fontaines most noted
work. 'All Quiet Along the Potomac,
has been subject of much comment
since its appearance in 1861. Several have
claimed the authorship of the piece, and
TO Miss Ethlyn Biers. 1t has been gen
orally credited The poem, typical of the
spirit of the days in which It was written,
has been preserved. not because of it's
poetic or structural value. but for It's
simple note of appeal to those who still
hold dear the memory of the heroes who
lost their lives in the great struggle be-
tween the states.
In supporting his claim to the author
ship of the piece, Major Fontaine has
in his possession what is claimed to be
the first print of the poem as it came
from the press of Julian A. Selby of Co
lumbia, 8. c., In October, 1861. This old
document, a facimie OF the title page
of which appears on this page, dedicates
the poem to the unknown decd of the
present revolution, and gives as its
author Lamar Fontaine. In further sup
porting his claim. Major Fontaine has in
his possession a letter from 7. II. Head
written in 1897, who commenting upon the
discussion as to the authorship of the
poem, says In part;
II was a sergeant in the Massachu-
setts regiment. and stationed at Pool
Vile, Maryland, in October, 1881. I was
frequently on picket duty along the Po-
tomac river. near the banks of Edward S
ferry, where we afterward recrossed with
part of our forces, after the battle of
Balls bluff. During the time ! was on
picket, l remember that one night we
received from one of the Confederate
pickets, written or partly written. "All
Quiet Along the Potomac Tonight" and

I received this information) l was told
that it was written by some one con-
nected with the Mississippi regiment then
stationed near Leesburg, by the name of
Fontaine. My impression Is that when
