The Moulton Tragedy : a Heroic Poem with Lyrics by Damon, S[Amuel] Foster
First Edition
Boston: Gambit, Inc.. Good in Good dust jacket. 1970. First Edition. Hardcover. Xviii, 276 pages, cloth, DJ, ex-library with usual library markings otherwise very good. From the dust jacket: "This work of a lifetime by a distinguished writer and scholar will inevitably and justly be compared with Stephen Vincent Benet's John Brown's Body for its dramatic vitality, its command of an authentic idiom, and for its evocation of fundamental themes from the American past. Jonathan Moulton, as New Hampshire place names still attest, was a historical figure of importance - explorer, land holder, Indian fighter, public man, and eventually general. But he also was and is an equally genuine figure of dark legend, a man who got the better of everyone, including the devil himself, and who lived his life under this sinister and heavy bargain without repentance. The moods of the poem are many, but its tension and its motion are produced by liens of imaginative force constantly pulling fact and legend toward each other. " M99; Ex-Library; 276 pages .
