Daggett, Windsor, - A Down-East Yankee from the District of Maine (John Neal).

Portland, ME, A. J. Huston, 1920. VG PB. John Neal's parents were Quakers, his father a school teacher who died within a month of Neal's birth. He became the most. colorful and controversial of Portland's literary figures. Not meeting success in law or trade, self-educated, Neal turned to literature and became a prolific writer. In England where he spent several years, he was considered the most original and arresting American writer of his day. He wrote an autobiography, Wandering Recollections of a Somewhat Busy Life, two definitive works about his beloved Portland, several novels, an epic poem, literary criticism, and innumerable articles. His best writing was vigorous and dashing, his worst long-winded and disorganized. He said of his own novel Logan that it should be taken as people take opium, "A grain may exhilarate - more may stupefy - much will be death." Edge wear, corner creases, slight discoloration to back cover.
