somethingdarkerI couldn't find a Wikipedia page for the publication; all the issues I pulled from are on Project Gutenberg. This magazine seems to have run only during the US Civil War. It's definitely anti-slavery but still has a good bit of racism, etc., the 'of its time' equivalent of a map warning 'Here be dragons.' Additionally, later in the run, the contents became less and less abolitionist and said less about the war.
Almost none of the poems are credited in text. There are some incomplete indices that I think were produced by PG volunteers and which are attached to occasional issues, not the same issue every volume and sometimes with partial indices scattered across multiple issues. The alphabetization in those is erratic, and I am unsure if I found everything (there were definitely some I didn't locate at all). The project to find authors might be ongoing which might mean updates after I last looked (14 May 2025) or might have been abandoned by whoever undertook the project.
Given the existing indices, searching the still uncredited poems seemed unlikely to yield quick results. I'm putting the anonymous snippets together here so that other people know where I got them from (and so that I have fewer documents to fiddle with). The snippets are sorted by poem title rather than by issue as I thought I'd have an easier time that way.

Almost none of the poems are credited in text. There are some incomplete indices that I think were produced by PG volunteers and which are attached to occasional issues, not the same issue every volume and sometimes with partial indices scattered across multiple issues. The alphabetization in those is erratic, and I am unsure if I found everything (there were definitely some I didn't locate at all). The project to find authors might be ongoing which might mean updates after I last looked (14 May 2025) or might have been abandoned by whoever undertook the project.
Given the existing indices, searching the still uncredited poems seemed unlikely to yield quick results. I'm putting the anonymous snippets together here so that other people know where I got them from (and so that I have fewer documents to fiddle with). The snippets are sorted by poem title rather than by issue as I thought I'd have an easier time that way.
