Case 3.2

Hows, John Augustus, and Alfred Billings Street. Forest Pictures in the Adirondacks. New York: Gregory, 1865. SPEC PS2959.S5 F67 1865.

True to its name and time period, Forest Pictures in the Adirondacks is a collection of poems focusing on the “picturesque” nature of the Adirondacks. Street uses a variety of poems, such as “The Ausable”, to show readers that those things that grow in the Adirondacks are unable to be tamed and in that are also violently beautiful: “…I am the child of the savage and wild, not pet of the sun and bloom” (12).
