Updated: March 12, 2026

He wrote a successful novel, Greyslaer, and much verse, some of which displayed more lyrical power than any which had preceded it in America. Poet, and writer of tales, belonged to a race of shepherds, and began life by herding cows until he was old enough to be trusted with a flock of sheep.
