Excerpt from The Life of John Lofland, "the Milford Bard, " the Earliest and Most Distinguished Poet of Delaware: With Comments and Representative Selections From His WorksWhile yet a boy, I learned something of his melancholy history, but, with passing years, my interest was incited to active inquiry, by perceiving that he stood alone as the distinctive poet of our little but well-beloved State. I desired to know more concerning him. In this I was encouraged by my honored Mother, who, true to the patriotic spirit for which all Delaware women are justly noted, desired her son to become imbued with that pride which has never permitted a Delawarean to lose his love for the place of his birth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
