Bryant is ours. He’s locally grown (born in Cummington: 1st poem published in the Daily Gazette) & he changed the world in positive ways by founding American literature (w/Thanotopsis), by bankrolling and encouraging Hudson School founder Thomas Cole, and by introducing an unknown senator named Abraham Lincoln to NYC’s power elite @ Cooper Union.
The North American Review, which started in 1815 and ran without interruption until 1940, was the first American magazine devoted entirely to literature. Massachusetts native William Cullen Bryant published his first poems—including “To a Waterfowl” (1821) and “Thanatopsis,” his most famous work—in early issues.
