- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Francis Orray Ticknor. Physician, poet, and horticulturist, Francis Orray Ticknor wrote memorable Civil War (1861-65) poetry and earned a lasting literary reputation on the merit of a single poem, "Little Giffen," a ballad about a young Tennessee soldier named Isaac Newton Giffen. The poem describes how during the war Ticknor treated and befriended the wounded Confederate lad, only to see him return to the ranks and presumably to his battlefield death.
