Description: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) is considered the "uncrowned poet laureate" of 19th-century America, and by some the finest poet in American history. He wrote more than four hundred poems, including such classics as Paul Revere's Ride and The Song of Hiawatha. Longfellow was the most popular poet and the most famous American of the nineteenth century. His popularity has not diminished since. He has been cherished by generations of readers, including President Theodore Roosevelt, who considered Longfellow his favorite poet, and his works have lost none of their appeal to a modern audience.
