English was an opponent of Edgar Allen Poe and wrote in a style imitative of his immediate literary predecessors. This poem is his celebration of the simple, hardworking herdsmen of Logan County. The author hopes that he, the poem and its subject will be long remembered. Also there is a TLS from the author Davis Grubb (dated: 11 September 1954) requesting that he be excused from meeting a deadline on A Dream of Kings. Talks about how writers have a habit of avoiding what they should be doing. West Virginia and Regional History Center / West Virginia University / 1549 University Avenue / P.O.
