 SLAINTE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Now viewed by some as an equal with Hugh MacDiarmid as a poet of the Scottish Renaissance, Goodsir Smith quickly adopted Scots for his poetry, appropriating many archaicisms and delving deep into the late medieval tradition of Scottish makars for stylistic inspiration.
Although plainly influenced by poets such as Dunbar and Henryson and Gawain Douglas, he fused his admiration for their technique with his own very distinctive, sometimes unwieldy language, creating a vibrant, romantic and frequently bawdy voice.
By turns rumbustious, tender and tragic, it is the best example of his ability to combine a wide range of emotions and tone, of his talent at evoking atmosphere, at poking fun at himself, and at creating a realistically fragmented sliver of human experience.

 Sidney Rigdon History Part 2

Mark McKiernan wrote a disappointing doctoral dissertation on Rigdon that was published in 1971; and Richard Van Waggoner produced what passes for the definitive Rigdon biography in 1996.
Sidney Rigdon wanted to go to school, and pleaded with his father & mother to let him go with his brother, but they would not consent to let him go, saying to him he was able to work on the farm & he could not go.
Not long after Sidney Rigdon had moved to Hyram, Joseph Smith came there to live & some time during the winter or early spring of the year Joseph Smith & Sidney Rigdon were one morning before daylight taken out of their beds and tarred and feathered by a mob.
