Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Henry Walcott Boynton, Reader's History of American Literature, Chapter 7: the Concord group (search)
author of Peter Rugg, the Missing man, a delineation more Hawthornesque, in my opinion, than anything in Scott, to whom Prof. Woodberry rightfully assigns some slight influence over Hawthorne. This tale was first printed in Buckingham's New England Galaxy for Sept. 10, 1824; and that editor says of it: This article was reprinted in other papers and books, and read more than any newspaper communication that has fallen within my knowledge. The original story purports to belong to the year 1820, and the scene of a later continuation is laid in the year 1825, both these being reprinted in the Boston book for 1841, and in the lately republished works of William Austin. It is the narrative, in the soberest language, of a series of glimpses of a man who spends his life in driving a horse and chaise — or more strictly a weatherbeaten chair, once built for a chaise-body -in the direction of Boston, but never getting there, until extreme old age. He is accompanied by a child; and it subse

The first explorer, Daniel Boone, he told us, who died in 1820, used to travel absolutely alone for weeks together in the Kentucky forests with only his rifle for company. He could not take even a dog for fear of the Indians; and once he had to travel a hundred miles on a single meal. There were springs in the Licking Valley where twenty thousand buffaloes came and went, and whole Indian tribes followed their tracks. The Indians never once even saw Boone, for they did not suspect that any white man could be there; and he avoided their tracks and never

The interesting descriptions which we have in his works are founded on his early life in the wilderness and at sea. His first novel, Precaution, appeared in 1820.
