Aldrich's novel "Story of a Bad Boy," Twain said, was his inspiration for Tom Sawyer.
By 1870 the Aldriches were popular socially, had twin sons and were feeling the early success of the newly published "Story of a Bad Boy," written while they summered in Portsmouth.
Aldrich seems destined to be, less a famous American man of letters, then a beloved bad boy from Portsmouth who made good.

 §3. Thomas Bailey Aldrich. X. Later Poets. Vol. 17. Later National Literature, Part II. The Cambridge History of ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
It is true that he never sympathized with the occupations of the New England mind in his time, and that his dedication of his art to beauty is not in the tradition of that “reformatory and didactic” section, and that, on the other hand, New York left its metropolitan imprint on nearly all his work.
Aldrich’s unfailing good fortune was only a fitting reward for a single-hearted devotion to art that is too rare in the history of American literature.
Aldrich’s other work—his long narrative poems, of which he regarded Wyndham Towers and Friar Jerome as the best; his Judith of Bethulîa, a dramatic poem; and his occasional poems, such as the Ode on the Unveiling of the Shaw Memorial on Boston Common—is work in kinds in which other American poets have done better.

 [minstrels] At Stratford-Upon-Avon -- Thomas Bailey Aldrich
Outside the mavis whistled strong and clear, And, touched with the sweet glamour of the year, The winding Avon murmured in its bed, But in the solemn Stratford church the air Was chill and dank, and on the foot-worn tomb The evening shadows deepened momently.
It is this semimythical Shakespeare that Aldrich addresses in "At Stratford-Upon-Avon" - the man whose spirit even now pervades the town in which he lies buried, speechless and awe-inspiring.
Aldrich captures this atmosphere admirably - the poem is evocative, and the balance and development perfect.

To contemporary audiences, Aldrich's poem reeks of nationalism and white supremacy, a chilling portrayal of the xenophobic strains weaving through our country's history.
When it comes to examining various American interpretations of lady liberty, however, Aldrich's poem serves as an important reminder of the uglier sides of American patriotism that can come with symbolic monuments like the Statue of Liberty.
In a letter to a friend in May 1892, Aldrich first announces "Unguarded Gates," explaining that it was instigated by his anger at recently having been robbed (Greenslet, 168).

Before there was a Tom Sawyer, Dennis the Menace, or Calvin, there was Thomas Bailey Aldrich.
While the beginning might be considered less than politically correct, Aldrich's family lived in the South and apparently had slaves when slavery was legal; his attitudes are shaped by his surroundings, but he never uses the N word, and speaks affectionately of his family servants.
If you can get past the first chapter or two, you will read of his re-location to the Northeast, and of his many hilarious boyhood adventures in Rivermouth.
