With a look of stern reproach he faced his fleeing friends Defiantly met the foe and that fearless challenge sends That sounds above the din and shout – adds glory to his name “I’ll hold this bridge against that gang or burn amid its flame.” On came the eager foe and charged up the narrow way A shot rang out, a groan was heard and dead the foremost lay Another started up the pass and Keeling straight defied But soon he, too, lay dead down by his comrade’s side. Then hand to hand in combat the soldiers fought for life Till seven gory bodies told the work of Keelings knife The frenzied captain with a curse, that might the imps appall, With sabre sprang and dealt a blow that caused the hero’s fall. Bewildered by his valor, then dire became their dread Of an attack by Keeling’s men the foe dispersed and fled. The morning came and with it brought relief upon the ground Who prostrate at his post his mangled body found. The guards bent down beside him and picked him up for dead “They’ve killed me boys but I saved the bridge” Keeling faintly said. Spared was his life, perhaps alas, from a hero-soldiers grave Throughout its war he bravely fought for the flag he sought to save. On the corpse-strewn plain that blood–stained banner lies Where foe and comrade meet and fight where foe and comrade dies. The war is o’er, the Cause is dead, the camp fire’s out forever! No reveille sounds at dawn, the roll – calls heard there never. Gone is our hero from its changing seasons of his hard and humble life Passing away in poverty from the slave of the world and its strife; But a welcome awaits him on that silent unseen shore Where Honor guards the garlands for the battle scars he bore.

In a letter from November 12, 1895, Oliver Taylor writes to William W. Stringfield regarding a historical sketch that Stringfield had included in the latest copy of the Waynesville Courier. Taylor had been interested in a Confederate soldier James Keeling, recently deceased, whose heroism and bravery on the night of November 6, 1862 inspired Taylor enough to eulogize Keeling in poetic rhyme. He shares his piece of poetic fiction with Stringfield.
