520			_a"Whittier-Land" by Samuel T. Pickard is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a guidebook for visitors exploring the life and surroundings of the renowned poet John Greenleaf Whittier, detailing his ancestry, birthplace, and notable localities in Essex County, Massachusetts, that inspired his poetry. The text offers readers insights into both Whittier’s personal narrative and the rich landscapes he celebrated in his works. The opening of "Whittier-Land" introduces the significance of the Merrimac Valley, which was not only the setting for Whittier's childhood but also the source of much of his poetic inspiration. It describes the geographical and historical context of Haverhill and Amesbury, detailing the poet's early life and his profound connection to these locations. Anecdotes from Whittier's youth are interspersed with descriptions of places relevant to his poetry, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of his character and his unique sense of humor in the chapters to follow. The author aims to preserve the memory of Whittier while catering to the growing interest from tourists eager to visit the poet's homesteads and literary landmarks.
