New England is a treasure house filled with many different types of spiritual, cultural, historical, and other resources. Included in this treasure trove is a rich mixture of literature - including writers from this region and literary works set in this region.
One such writer is John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892), who was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts. Although he had little formal education, he became a well-known poet as well as a writer of hymns and an editor. Mr. Whittier was also very active in the anti-slavery movement up until the Civil War.
