	James Russell Lowell - LoveToKnow 1911
		Lowell was already looked upon by his companions as a man marked by wit and poetic sentiment; Miss White was admired for her beauty, her character and her intellectual gifts, and the two became thus the hero and heroine among a group of ardent young men and women.
		Lowell's mother meanwhile was living, sometimes at home, sometimes at a neighbouring hospital, with clouded mind, and his wife was in frail health.
		In 1877 Lowell, who had mingled so little in party politics that the sole public office he had held was the nominal one of elector in the Presidential election of 1876, was appointed by President Hayes minister resident at the court of Spain.

	An Officer and a Gentleman
		Lowell wasn't obviously cut out for the military life, but he was a fine horseman and became an accomplished commander.
		Charles Lowell was an articulate young man, toughened by prewar bouts of life-threatening illness, classically educated and given to unusually mature reflections on life and fate; and he and his friends and family left letters that the author uses well.
		Lowell also identified with Shakespeare's Sonnet 111, whose narrator invokes the image of the dyer's hand, "subdued to what it works in" -- in his case, it was to be a hand stained by the harsh duties of military command.

		Lowell was mortally wounded on Oct. 19, 1864, at the Battle of Cedar Creek, in the Shenandoah Valley -- a battle of some consequence, since a Union defeat could have cost Lincoln the election, which was just two weeks off.
		In historical memory, Lowell has been much overshadowed by Shaw -- who with his all-fl infantry is the subject of what may be the finest of American war monuments, the Saint-Gaudens monument on Beacon Street.
		Here is Bundy assembling the mourners at Lowell's funeral in Harvard Yard: ''splendidly got-up members of Boston's Cotton Aristocracy"; ''clumps of Lowell's former classmates and friends, some on crutches, some maimed, others gaunt and frail"; and the ''serious, sober" members of the Harvard Corporation, ''reminders of an authority older than the nation and the Commonwealth."

	On "For the Union Dead"
		Lowell now conceives of the events of public history as existing solely in commemorative art, on the one hand, and metaphysical "immortality," like that of Shaw, on the other.
		Lowell's nearest approach, in For the Union Dead, to an image of moral political action is to be found in the title poem.
		Lowell's active man, Colonel Shaw, is in many ways highly vulnerable to Lowell's usual critique of the disparity between ideals and realities, and of political theatricality.

		I first became interested in the career of Charles Russell Lowell Jr., when earlier this spring I saw the author, Carol Bundy, speak about him and read from her book on TV, on a fourm provided by the Public TV station Boston's WGBH.
		For on the one hand although Lowell was a forgotten soldier, dead before he was thirty, he fought with distinction at a number of pivotal sites in the War Between the States, at one point serving with "Mosby's Marauders." He was a curious chap, as Bundy relates.

	TIME.com: Lo, the Lowells -- Sep. 23, 1946 -- Page 1
		Lowells of one kind or another—learned, stately, pious, peculiar—have inhabited Boston and its environs almost as long as any other white men, and left their mark more indelibly than most.
		There have been Lowells commercial enough to take fortunes out of distilleries and cotton mills, Lowells august enough to serve as trustees of the Boston Athenaeum, Lowells literate enough to be represented on many a U.S. bookshelf.
		Rumor is that Lowells talk only to Cabots; they have also apparently talked freely to Ferris Greenslet, former Houghton Mifflin editor-in-chief, and granted him permission to quote from family letters and papers.

		Lowell, who was dying of tuberculosis, received a fatal wound while leading a successful Napoleonic cavalry charge at the climax of the battle of Cedar Creek on Oct. 1, 1864.
