The War Between the States was prolific in war poems and songs. North and South, poets and song-writers vied with each other in invoking the Muse. The newspapers were the popular mediums for reaching the hearts of the people, at that period. Consequently their columns, and frequently also the more select pages of the literary magazines, were filled with fiery metrical appeals to patriotism, and the soldiers in the field were animated with martial strains; impassioned lyrics sang the glory of war, and stately odes declared that honor and eternal happiness are assured to those who die for their country. One class of bards dealt with the softer passion of love, and the sweet sentiments of domestic happiness, or with pleasures of memory, hope, and home. Others were content with picturing the humorous side of soldier life, and in broad farce or rough burlesque, occasionally threw a gleam of sunshine over the cares, hardships and dangers encountered by the weather-beaten veterans, cheering the wearisome march, or serving to while away, in reckless mirth, an hour around the camp-fire. The poets and balladeers of the South were as busy and as capable as their fellow-craftsmen of the North in furnishing the tragic, as well as the melodramatic and comic material, which constitutes the poetical and more popular literature of the war.

The of son of John Adam and Margaret Semmilroch Hubner, he was born in Baltimore, Maryland on January 16, 1835. His parents, both of whom were Bavarians, came to America shortly after their marriage and settled in Baltimore. They prospered, and when Charles was eighteen, his mother took him with her to Germany.
From his childhood he had manifested a bent for anything having to do with the arts.
For six years in Germany he studied music and painting before he was ready to return to America.
He had long been writing poetry, and a Boston periodical had published a composition of his called "A Threnody on the Death of Thomas Moore. " He found a position teaching music at the Tennessee Female Academy in Fayetteville, Tenn.
The Civil War disintegrated the Hubner family. The mother went to her home in Bavaria, never to return; the father entered the Union army and was killed at Shiloh. Charles entered the Confederate army and at length became a major in the telegraph corps. Soon after the war he settled in Atlanta and maintained himself by doing free-lance work at one time or another for all the Atlanta papers and for the Christian Index. Also he derived some additional income – extremely little, it is to be feared – from his post as associate librarian for the Young Men's Library Association, and from the books which he began publishing in 1873. In 1896 he was made assistant librarian at the most important public library in Atlanta, a position which he held for twenty years.
His published works include several volumes of poetry; an adulatory biography, Historical Souvenirs of Martin Luther (1873); one political essay, Modern Communism (1880); one anthology, War Poets of the South (1896); and one critical volume, perhaps his most valuable work, Representative Southern Poets (1906). Of his poetry, the earliest volume, Wild Flowers (1877), contains a blank-verse play, "The Maid of San Domingo, " adapted from the German; Cinderella or the Silver Slipper (1879) is a lyrical drama. What remains is for the most part conventional – apostrophes to spring and moonlight and water-falls, to Sidney Lanier and even to Walt Whitman. His last book, betokening a serene and worthy life, is entitled: Poems of Faith and Consolation (1927).
