Robert Frost (1874-1963) Born in California, Frost moved with his family to Massachusetts when he was 11. Frost attended Lawrence High School, attended Dartmouth College for a semester, attended Harvard College as a special student from 1897 to 1899 but left without a degree. Over the next ten years he wrote poems, operated a farm in Derry, New Hampshire (open for tours), and supplemented his income by teaching at Derry's Pinkerton Academy.

Stephen King lives in Bangor Maine with his wife and children. Here is a list of items under Stephen King, Richard Bachman, and his wife Tabitha King. I suspect Stephen King wrote the books published under his wife's name, but this is only a suspicion.

Herman Melville (1819-1891) lived in Pittsfield, Massachusetts from 1850 to 1862 were he wrote Moby Dick and three other novels. You can visit Herman Melville's estate which is now a Registered National Historic Landmark.

Henry A. Shute (1856-1943) was a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy and Harvard University. He was born and lived in Exeter, New Hampshire, where he worked as a lawyer and a judge of the municipal court. In the 1890s, Henry Shute began writing for the Exeter News-Letter. His weekly stories based on recollections from boyhood were popular, however, it was not until the publication of The Real Diary of a Real Boy that Shute acquired national recognition. Named the "Mark Twain of New England," Shute's humorous, innocent, and 'jolly' stories continue to "provide valuable insight into the customs of his hometown."

Another book worth reading is Brite and Fair. It's currently out of print, but it's worth the trouble of finding the book.


Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) born in Concord, Massachusetts. Thoreau graduated from Harvard in 1837 and he started publishing essays, poems, and reviews in the transcendentalist magazine The Dial. "A Natural History of Massachusetts," (1842) revealed his talent for writing about nature.

From 1845 to 1847, Thoreau moved to a hut on the edge of Walden Pond, a small glacial lake near Concord. Guided by the maxim "Simplify, simplify," he strictly limited his expenditures, his possessions, and his contact with others. His goal: "To live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach."
