His first literary work of importance was a history of Duxbury, the original home of his family, which he completed in his eighteenth year, shortly after entering college.

This was done without consulting with me-the only one who knew what that training had been-apparently unmindful of the many winning Harvard track teams in the past that had received advice from the same source, not considering the element of better...
