Explore "Lydia Puckett" by Edgar Lee Masters on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Knowlt Hoheimer ran away to the war / The day before Curl Trenary / Swore out a warrant through Justice Arnett / For stealing hogs.
But that's not the reason he turned a soldier.
He caught me running with Lucius Atherton.
We quarreled and I told him never again / To cross my path.
Then he stole the hogs and went to the war --
Back of every soldier is a woman.
