But all a gentleman can think after living his lifetime in West Virginia and hearing him talk is that Ohio must be just as bad as they say it is, full of depraved creatures, no account presidents, unjust laws, terrible climate and the Ohio "gang" (Forbes, Daugherty and worse).

Once, at least, has this jongleur been more than little or impudent. He wrote "The Ballad of the Goodly Fere," an account of the Crucifixion by Simon Zelotes, hard-bitten mariner.
