		Bryant was a notable master of wordsmithing -- who used his verbal imagery to move the reader from one feeling to another, much like a composer carries along an audience in a moving stream of musical genius.
		Having placed William Cullen Bryant within a supposed literary stream which he calls a "tradition of writings about the Mound-Builders," Curtis Dahl goes on to demonstrate that Bryant was not the only American bard with the fate of the ancient people on his mind.
