This anthology reflects on themes of democracy, brotherhood, and social justice, centering significantly around the figure of Abraham Lincoln, and touches upon the human condition, labor, and the struggles of the common man. The poems embody a lyrical quality, exploring the burdens and aspirations of humanity with a passionate and sometimes dramatic voice. The collection opens with the poignant poem "Lincoln, the Man of the People," which celebrates Lincoln's deep connection to the common folk and his enduring legacy. Through various poems, Markham delves into the struggles of workers, the dignity of labor, and the hopeful vision for a more equitable society. Works such as "The Builders" and "Our Deathless Dead" encapsulate the idea that true honor comes from noble deeds rather than empty tributes. Markham also addresses broader societal themes through poems like "Dreyfus," which highlights injustice, and "The Need of the Hour," calling for integrity and bravery in leadership. Overall, the collection is a passionate tribute to Lincoln and a broader appeal for justice and brotherhood among all people.
