Description

"My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing"

Highly desirable AQS on two off-white 5 x 8 sheets, lightly lined, signed at the conclusion in ink, "S. F. Smith." Smith pens the four original verses of 'America' in their entirety, in part: "My country, - 'tis of thee, / Sweet land of liberty, / Of thee I sing; / Land where my fathers died, / Land of the pilgrims' pride, / From every mountain side, / Let freedom ring." Smith adds to the conclusion, “1832,” the date of its first publication, and “1883,” the date of this offered handwritten song. In fine condition. A beautifully preserved example of this time-honored patriotic anthem.
