Hello friends and ! We asked an AI program to write a poem based on this scene from the book "The War Dog" by John D. Lippy, Jr. (currently on sale at our website:
http://bit.ly/OOP-Civil-War-Dog-Books ).
How do you think it did?

"Salute to Sallie Ann Jarrett"
A Poem of Honor and Loyalty

Beyond the clash of cannons’ roar and bugles’ clarion call,
Stood President Lincoln, tall and grave, in somber duty’s thrall.
His eyes surveyed the valiant ranks, each soldier brave and true,
Who marched with steadfast purpose, proud in Union blue.
With hat in hand, he waved and cheered, his heart with pride aglow,
For every man who passed him by, in lines that seemed to grow.

But then his gaze fell on a sight that made his spirit rise,
A brindle-coated bulldog bold, with loyalty in her eyes.
Sallie Ann Jarrett led the way, her steps so firm and strong,
Her Pennsylvania soldiers’ hearts, she’d guarded all along.
The men who fought with courage fierce, their trust she’d never fail,
And seeing her, the President’s heart stirred with a poignant tale.

He tipped his hat with gentle grace, a gesture of respect,
For Sallie Ann, who knew no fear, her honor to protect.
Though Lincoln knew her not by name, her spirit he could see,
A symbol of unyielding faith and steadfast loyalty.
Through fields of strife and battles grim, she wandered by their side,
A beacon in the darkest times, a source of strength and pride.

And as the troops marched proudly past, with Sallie in the lead,
The President, with hat in hand, acknowledged this brave deed.
For in that brindle bulldog’s stride, a nation’s hope was found,
In simple acts of faith and love, where true valor is crowned.
And so, with hat aloft in air, Lincoln paid his due,
To Sallie Ann Jarrett, and the soldiers brave and true.

Good morning, friends and ! In 1867, when Col. Richard Coulter of the 11th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry published his memoir of Sallie Ann Jarrett, the regiment's canine mascot, he imagined that one day the regiment's gray-haired veterans would be telling her story to their grandchildren. But what he might never have predicted is how popular her story became with the generations that followed and how often other authors have retold the tale of the 11th's loyal mascot. The first of these accounts to widely share Sallie's story was John D. Lippy, Jr.,'s 1962 book "The War Dog." Today, "The War Dog" can be difficult to find, and we're pleased to have a copy available for sale on our website. bit.ly/OOP-Civil-War-Dog-Books You'll find details there, along with several other books about Sallie and other loyal dogs of the American Civil War.
