This poem was first distributed as a leaflet on the occasion of the dedication of
a monument (July 4, 1837) commemorating the battle of Lexington and Concord.
However, since the cornerstone of the monument was laid late in 1836 and the
monument carries the date 1836, some printed versions of the poem give that date.
The poem was not printed again until it was included in Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Poems (1847).
