Description: Signed and Dated (1915) by Mary Day Lanier (wife of Sidney) to her cousin - please see pictureVery Unique Inscription and Scarce Signature Please see pictures for more information and detail Sidney Clopton Lanier (February 3, 1842 – September 7, 1881) was an American musician, poet and author. He served in the Confederate States Army as a private, worked on a blockade-running ship for which he was imprisoned (resulting in his catching tuberculosis), taught, worked at a hotel where he gave musical performances, was a church organist, and worked as a lawyer. As a poet he sometimes, though not exclusively, used dialects. Many of his poems are written in heightened, but often archaic, American English. He became a flautist and sold poems to publications. He eventually became a professor of literature at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, and is known for his adaptation of musical meter to poetry. A 1972 US postage stamp honored him as an "American poet". He married Mary Day of Macon in 1867 and moved back to his hometown, where he began working in his father's law office.
