	Clement Clarke Moore and "A Visit from St. Nicholas," by Pat Pflieger (2001, 2002)
		Moore himself was an only child, born on July 15, 1779, to wealthy parents who allowed him to develop a talent for languages and an ear for music.
		Moore graduated from Columbia College in 1798, at the head of his class, and began a master's degree three years later, preparing for the ministry, though he was never ordained.

		Foster quotes Moore, writing in 1806 to condemn people who wrote or read light verse, but in the preface to his 1844 volume of poems, Moore denied that there was anything wrong with "harmless mirth and merriment," and he insisted that "in spite of all the cares and sorrows of this life,.
		One of Moore's many satirical poems, "The Wine Drinker," was a devastating critique of the temperance movement of the 1830s--another bourgeois reform that men of his class almost universally distrusted.

	Clement C Moore
		As a professor of classics at the General Theological Seminary in New York City, Clement C. Moore's most notable work prior to "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" was a two-volume tome entitled A Compendious Lexicon of the Hebrew Language.
		Moore, stodgy creature of academe that he was, refused to have the poem published despite its enthusiastic reception by everyone who read it.

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Holidays (The Donner Party's Over)
		Whether Moore or Livingston wrote "A Visit from Saint Nicholas," one of them melded elements of Scandinavian mythology with the emerging Dutch-American version of Santa Claus as a jolly, pipe-smoking fellow and produced a vision of a sleigh pulled by eight flying reindeer.
		He assigned names to all the reindeer, and he took two of them from a common Dutch exclamation of the time, "Dunder and Blixem!" (the Dutch words for "thunder" and "lightning," as rendered in English orthography).
		Although Marks certainly helped popularize the 'Donner' usage by including it in the "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" lyrics, he was far from the first to refer to one of Santa's reindeer by that name.
