Aimed at young readers, it presents the lives and signature works of Bryant, Longfellow, Whittier, and Holmes in an uplifting, instructive tone. The focus is on character, industry, patriotism, and a cultivated love of nature and poetry.  The opening of the volume frames the series’ purpose for “young Americans,” then devotes a full, readable life of William Cullen Bryant: a primer on loving Nature (with an extended look at his “Inscription for the Entrance to a Wood”), his Puritan New England childhood, early verses and “The Embargo,” the rediscovery and publication of “Thanatopsis,” a reluctant turn to law, and his defining career as editor of the New York Evening Post, including his disciplined habits, public principles, travels, prosperity, and later honors; it closes with practical guidance on how to appreciate his poems. It then turns to Henry W. Longfellow, tracing his Portland ancestry and boyhood, first publications, the local color behind “My Lost Youth,” Bowdoin days alongside Hawthorne, his early professorships, marriage and bereavement, the move to Cambridge and the Craigie House, and the convivial “Five of Clubs,” ending as his Cambridge circle and literary life come into view.
