Nancy Rebecca Campbell Glass

Nancy Rebecca Campbell Glass published American devotional poetry under both her full name and the shortened byline Nannie R. Glass. The Mountain Spring and Other Poems appeared in Boston through Sherman, French & Company in 1913. Its title poem begins with a traveler encountering a spring near West Virginia's Cacapon River and develops that landscape into a religious meditation. The collection continues through poems on nature, biblical figures, seasons, grief, devotion, and moral reflection, including pieces titled The Desert Spring, November, Bartimæus, and Bethlehem. Nancy Rebecca Campbell Glass and the original title page’s shorter Nannie R. Glass byline refer to the same writer. The volume's dedication to her parents and its recurring scriptural references give the collection a coherent devotional frame. The Mountain Spring and Other Poems is therefore both a regional landscape book and an expression of Glass's religious verse rooted in its 1913 publication.
