The main poet of Maine and no small man in Carmel! Much too busy to do much visiting but when he does it's a tonic to listen to him. His many novels contain adventures in the big woods and sturdy outdoor life. He says the first 'pome' he ever wrote for the Lewiston Journal brought a libel suit on the paper and put a blackhand value on his three stanza gem to the extent of a sum never received by the great Longfellow in his palmiest days. "Started right out as a high priced poet," he says.
