The Poet of American History. — Although Long- fellow has been called " the least national of our poets," one English critic even declaring that of all our singers Longfellow would have been the last he should have guessed to be an American had he " come across his works in ignorance of the fact," it is nevertheless true that no other poet, save Whittier perhaps, has done so much to make poetic our American history and tradi- tion. " But few of our asso...ciates," said Dr. Ellis before the Massachusetts Historical Society, " can have studied our local and even national history more sedulously than did Mr. Longfellow. He took the saddest of our New England tragedies and the sweetest of its rural home scenes, the wayside inn, the alarum of war, the Indian legend, and the hanging of the crane in the modest 270 AMERICAN LITERATURE. household, and his genius has invested them with en- during charms and morals."
