Francis H Underwood: 2 books

Underwood was a personal friend of the great American poet and abolitionist James Russell Lowell. Here, the author records his reminiscences of their friendship as well as critical appraisals of his work—a simple yet rich portrait of the great poet.

Quaker poet John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892), a member of nineteenth century New England’s Fireside Poets school, was active in the movement to abolish slavery in America but was violently harassed by pro-slavery mobs for his beliefs. This authorized 1884 life story is a memoir of the man both as artist and activist.
