Pierce was an Episcopal bishop of the Arkansas and Oklahoma Territories. After nine years as missionary bishop, Pierce recognized the need for a cathedral in Little Rock. Pierce began raising money for construction of a new building. By 1882, he had enough money to purchase the land at the corner of 17th and Spring streets. The cathedral was opened on October 19, 1884, Pierce’s birthday. This book of poetry was published that same year.
