Excerpt from Backwoods PoemsThe little book here presented embraces the rhymes and poems written by me in a period of thirty years, beginning with my boyhood. All of them have already been laid before the public in newspapers and periodicals; but, like autumnal leaves cast on the rushing stream, they have been swept away, and only the writer's scrap-book has saved them from oblivion.It is not through affectation that I have given my book the title it bears. I chose this title in my boyhood, when I first conceived the design of publishing, some day, a book of poems. Nor is the title inappropriate. While I was yet an infant, my father, with his family, settled down in a wilderness, where I grew up with the population, rarely ever going out of the neighborhood for forty years. Save what I learned from books and newspapers, and from the conversation of those into whose society I was thrown -The little world in which I lived.Was all the world I knew.The old log school-house with a single window and a single door-described in one of my earlier pieces-was my alma mater; the green woods were my campus; and if I climbed Parnassus, 'twas not with Homer, "by dint o' Greek," but with trusty dogs, chasing the mottle-coated hare over the bush-covered hillock. Thus isolated and thus surrounded, both my intellectual and my moral nature could not fail to receive a coloring, which, reflected on my rhythmic effusions, renders the appellation, "Backwoods Poems," peculiarly significant.I am well aware, that there are many crudities and imperfections in these poems, particularly in the earlier pieces. I have kept all; I could not discard the poor children of my brain on account of deformity.Such as they are, I present my rhymes to the public, craving their indulgence if I can not gain their applause. One merit, at least, I claim, for which I hope my readers will give me credit. I have not attempted to carry them to lofty heights, nor into deep waters. Knowing the weakness of my arm, I have kept my little boat near the shore!In the years to come, I hope - what writer did not so hope - that I will have many, very many, readers. In the variety presented, I hope that each reader will find something to please, something to while away a passing hour, and somewhere in these pages - I pray God! - something to incite to a nobler, better life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
