Many poems have had Gettysburg as the theme many of them have been good but many would not take first rank.
It is believed that of the poems that have been written, the one that would rank first in its impelling rhythm,
its thrilling inspiration, its majesty of thought and its great human message is
“High Tide at Gettysburg,” by Will Henry Thompson.
He was a Southern poet, born in Georgia, serving in the Confederate army throughout the Civil War,
removing to Indiana he practiced law at Crawfordsville. Later he emigrated to Washington Territory, residing in Seattle.

Biography
[
edit
]
James Maurice Thompson was born in 1844 in
Fairfield, Indiana
, to a Baptist minister and his wife. Near the end of the decade,
the family moved to northern Georgia. He was educated by tutors in the classical languages, literature, French and mathematics;
he used his mathematical training to advantage by becoming a
civil engineer
.
During the
Civil War
, Maurice Thompson and his brother Will Henry Thompson (born 1846) served in the Confederate Army.
After the war, Thompson took up residence in
Calhoun, Georgia
, where he studied surveying, engineering, and the law.
He lived in Calhoun for two years, and began publishing the first of his articles while living there.
[1]
In 1867 Thompson began a botanical and ornithological survey of
Lake Okeechobee
in Florida.
After finishing this work, Thompson and his brother moved to
Crawfordsville, Indiana
.
Maurice began working as an engineer on a railroad being built in the area, and the Thompson brothers married sisters.
In 1871 the brothers opened a law office together. In 1873 Maurice resumed submitting articles for publication (
Atlantic Monthly
published his first),
after which he undertook a series of articles on
archery
. He was published in
New York Tribune
,
Atlantic Monthly
, and
Harper's Monthly
.
His first book appeared in 1875 and over the ensuing years he wrote in different genres, including novels and poetry.
