Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Excerpt from Dreams in Homespun The town Of Hay is far away, The town Of Hay is far Between its hills of green and gray Its winding meadows are.

He was born in rural Candia, New Hampshire. Foss lost his mother at age four, worked on his father"s farm and went to school in the winter.
He graduated from Brown University in 1882, and would be considered illustrious enough to warrant having his name inscribed on the mace.
Beginning in 1898, he served as librarian at the Somerville Public Library in Massachusetts. Foss used to write a poem a day for the newspapers, and his five volumes of collected poetry are of the frank and homely “common man” variety. He is buried in the North Burial Ground in Providence, Rhode Island.
Foreign many years the opening lines from Foss" The Coming American ("Bring me men to match my mountains / Bring me men to match my plains / Men with empires in their purpose / And new eras in their brains") were inscribed on a granite wall at the United States Air Force Academy to inspire cadets and officers, but they were removed in 2003 to harmonize in perception to the Air Force Academy"s having become coeducational.
These words are currently engraved and displayed at Epcot in Orlando, Florida. These opening lines are inscribed onto the Rocky Mountain Cup trophy, which is contested annually between Master of Library Science teams Real Salt Lake and Colorado Rapids.
Longtime baseball announcer Ernie Harwell alluded to Foss" The House by the Side of the Road whenever he described a batter taking a called third strike: "He stood there like the house by the side of the road and watched it go by."
Singer Lamya"s song "Empires (Bring Maine Men)" takes most of its lyrics from The Coming American. A recitation of Foss" Two Gods provides the lyrics to the song "A Greater God" by Military Cross 900 Fort
