Collected Poems combines examples of James Edwin Campbell's poetry from both of his published books. His traditional American verse poems, which exemplifies those he included in Driftings and Gleanings stand in stark contrast to his poetry in the African-American Gullah dialect, most exemplified in Echoes from the Cabin and Elsewhere. Both, however, demonstrate his skill with words, his tremendous ability to tell a story, and his familiarity with life in the antebellum South. James Edwin Campbell was born in Ohio and lived for periods of time in West Virginia and Illinois. He was a teacher, journalist, public speaker, college administrator, essayist, and poet. Tragically he died at the age of 28 from pneumonia.

It began as a small, slow, and unadorned sailing vessel—in a word, ordinary. Later, it was a weary workhorse in the age of steam. But the story of the Edwin Fox reveals how an everyday merchant ship drew together a changing world and its people in an extraordinary age of rising empires, sweeping economic transformation, and social change. This fascinating work of global history offers a vividly detailed and engaging narrative of globalization writ small, viewed from the decks and holds of a single vessel. The Edwin Fox connected the lives and histories of millions, though most never even saw it. Built in Calcutta in 1853, the Edwin Fox was chartered by the British navy as a troop transport during the Crimean War. In the following decades, it was sold, recommissioned, and refitted by an increasingly far-flung constellation of militaries and merchants. It sailed to exotic ports carrying luxury goods, mundane wares, and all kinds of people: not just soldiers and officials but indentured laborers brought from China to Cuba, convicts and settlers being transported from the British Empire to western Australia and New Zealand—with dire consequences for local Indigenous peoples—and others. But the power of this story rests in the everyday ways people, nations, economies, and ideas were knitted together in this foundational era of our modern world. Readers will never see globalization the same way again.
