New York: M. Doolady, Publisher, 1867. Hardcover. Near Fine. First edition. 12mo. 78pp. Frontispiece and six wood engravings. Publisher's brown cloth titled and decorated in gilt, beveled boards. Contemporary bookplate of C.S. Skinner and penciled gift inscription. Scattered foxing throughout, modest inner corner damage on frontispiece leaf, slight wear at spine ends, overall very good. The Alabama-born author published two volumes of poetry, both in 1867. An 1870 autobiographical sketch which appeared in *Southland Writers* implied she was from an impoverished family of the white Southern aristocracy, giving no hint of her African-American ancestry. The Loew's Bridge referred to in the title of this long narrative poem was a pedestrian bridge in New York City at the corner of Broadway and Fulton Streets.
