Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869-1935) was hailed by many in his day as America's foremost poet, outranking T.S. Eliot, Robert Frost, and Ezra Pound. Perhaps best known for his sonnets, he startles readers into attention and response through obscurity and ambiguity and demanding syntax. Many of Robinson's works continue to be published today, introducing him to new generations of readers. This comprehensive encyclopedia provides information on Robinson's poems--he published more than 200--and also his less well-known prose works, along with entries on his family, friends, and professional associates. Entries on his writings give the year published, a summary, background information, and critical commentary illuminating enigmatic passages. Entries on people provide biographical information and describe the influence the person had on Robinson's life.
This biography of General Edwin Vose Sumner emphasizes his role in developing the mounted arm of the U.S. Army. Born in Boston in 1797 he abandoned a merchant's career and entered the U.S. Infantry in 1819. Transferring to the Dragoons in the 1830s, Sumner established the Cavalry School of Practice at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. Among his students was the future Confederate General Richard S. Ewell. Sumner served with distinction throughout the Mexican War and maintained a balance between the warring factions in Kansas in the mid-1850s (his efforts earning him the displeasure of the Pierce administration). He led an expedition against the Cheyennes with subordinates that included future Civil War generals John Sedgwick and Samuel Sturgis as well as the capable but headstrong Lieutenant Jeb Stuart. Replacing Albert Sidney Johnston in California in 1861, Sumner kept the state in the Union. Returning east, he commanded the Second Corps throughout 1862 and died of pneumonia in March 1863.
George Edwin Little was born in 1844 in Nauvoo Illinois. This was a time of great unrest for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When George was 2yrs old, his family was among the many saints who were forced out of Nauvoo. They traveled across the plains with the pioneers to settle in the valley of Salt Lake City. Along this trip, George's father met with atragedy when he fell into an icy river. He became sick and died. Harriet and George finished the trip on their own. After arriving in Salt Lake City, money was very tight. George and his mother had very little money and certainly no money for shoes. George had to make due with his bare feet. But winter was coming. And what about going to church? He seemed to be the only one without shoes at church. After George prayed to God, a miracle happened. There on the old fence post in front of his house sat a brand new pair of shoes. "That day, George Little walked home with a big smile and warm heart, very grateful for his God-given pair of shoes."
Collected Poems combines examples of James Edwin Campbell's poetry from both of his published books. His traditional American verse poems, which exemplifies those he included in Driftings and Gleanings stand in stark contrast to his poetry in the African-American Gullah dialect, most exemplified in Echoes from the Cabin and Elsewhere. Both, however, demonstrate his skill with words, his tremendous ability to tell a story, and his familiarity with life in the antebellum South. James Edwin Campbell was born in Ohio and lived for periods of time in West Virginia and Illinois. He was a teacher, journalist, public speaker, college administrator, essayist, and poet. Tragically he died at the age of 28 from pneumonia.
