| Info | Augustine Joseph Hickey Duganne was born in Boston and first came to public notice through his patriotic poems. He migrated to Philadelphia, where he wrote novels and books on philosophy, economics, and government.
Dugganne also used his skill in prose and verse to agitator for the National Reform program advocaint free land. More typically, however, he assoiated with George Lippard and his Brotherhood of the Union. His poems on land and labor resounded with his sturdy love of the people and their rights.
Rather unusually--but not uniquely--Duganne identified radical social reform with an American exceptionalism frighteningly compatale with Nativism. In 1855 he won election to the New York Assembly for one term and remained a spokesman for the Nativists right up to the time of the Civil War.
Duganne fought in the Civil War, commanding the 176th New York and reflecting upon the humanity of six thousand runaway slaves. After his capture, imprisonment, and pardon, he served as chief of the bureau of military statistics. He write his Camps and Prisons based on his experienced.
After the war, Duganne was connected with both the New York Tribune and the Masonic Sunday Dispatch.
