Edwin Mims tells Lanier’s life largely in his own words and those of his friends: ancestry and boyhood in Macon, Georgia, college days, service as a Confederate soldier and prisoner of war, years seeking a vocation in law, his career as a flautist in Baltimore, and the late flowering of his poetry and lectures before his early death from consumption.
