Ward Howe, Julia États-Unis Julia Ward Howe (May 27, 1819 – October 17, 1910) was a prominent American abolitionist, social activist, and poet most famous as the author of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
Born Julia Ward in New York City, she was the fourth of six children born to Samuel Ward (1786 – 1839) and Julia Rush Cutler. Her father was a well-to-do banker.
Her paternal grandparents were Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Ward (May 1, 1756 – November 27, 1839) of the Continental Army and Phoebe Greene. Her maternal grandparents were Benjamin Clarke and Sarah Mitchell Cutler.
Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Ward was a son of Samuel Ward, a colonial Governor of Rhode Island and later a delegate to the Continental Congress, and his wife Anna Ray. Phoebe Greene was a daughter of William Greene, Governor of Rhode Island and his wife Catharine Ray.
In 1843 she married a hero of the Greek revolution, physician Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe nicknamed Chev, who founded the Perkins Institute for the Blind. The couple made their home in South Boston, had six children (five of whom lived to adulthood), and were active in the Free Soil Party. She was a member of the Unitarian church.
Howe died of pneumonia at her home, Oak Glen, in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, at the age of 91. She is buried in the Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts. (Hide extended text) ... (Read all) Source of the extract of the biography : Wikipedia

Interest : Skill level : A good skeletal version. It would be nice to have the lyrics too on the music also.

Interest : Skill level : i think the piece is a great one, i would only use this to find out the tune in the right hand, maybe adding more to that in the right hand and definite improvisation in the left. the chords are easy enough to find out from this piece so using those is easy
