Olivia ward bush's second book, driftwood, was published in 19 14. This one was dedicated to her aunt, maria. Some sources list this book as having 25 poems and two prose pieces. The poem carney, the brave standard bearer, is about sergeant william h carney of the 50 fourth massachusetts regiment. That was at the battle of fort wagner, after being shot several times.

He lived in boston and new bedford,Massachusetts after the civil war.
