"The Village Blacksmith", and three notable long narrative poems on American themes: Evangeline (1847), about lovers separated during the French and Indian War (1754-1763); The Song of Hiawatha (1855), addressing Native American themes; and The Courtship of Miles Standish (1858), about a love triangle in colonial New England. BIOGRAPHY: Henry was named for his recently killed uncle Henry Wardsworth. Henry Longfellow and his brother and biographer, the Rev. Samuel Longfellow (1819-1892), were grandsons maternally of Peleg Wadsworth (1748-1829). More distantly through the Howlands, the poet was a sixth cousin of another eminent American literary figure of the period, Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882). Henry’s father and grandfather were both graduates of Harvard College. Henry’s father was a lawyer and at times he served on the legislature. Henry’s grandfather served as a judge, town schoolmaster, parish clerk, and registrar. Henry Longfellow’s great-grandfather was a village blacksmith and was born in Hampshire County, England. Henry's father wanted him to be a lawer too; but just after graduating from Bowdin College he was given the new Chair at Bowdin of modern languages. That changed his career path.
