September, 1898, at Sault Ste. Marie, Mr. C. S. Shepard

He wrote of this journey in "Adventures while Preaching the Gospel of Beauty".

"The Eagle that is Forgotten" and "The Congo" are his best-known poems,

and appear in his first two volumes of verse, "General William Booth

Enters into Heaven" (1913) and "The Congo" (1914).

As a sidenote, he became close friends with the poet Sara Teasdale

(well worth reading in her own right -- perhaps the better poet),

and his third volume of verse, "The Chinese Nightingale" (1917),

is dedicated to her. In turn, she wrote a memorial verse for him
