The article presents information on the book "Quaker Militant: John Greenleaf Whittier," by Albert Mordell. The effort to write a "popular" biography of John Greenleaf Whittier must be a particularly difficult and disconcerting business. This was the task that Albert Mordell set himself, and obligingly he has unearthed a few unpublished poems and discovered a hidden love affair, a "dark lady" by the name of Mary Emerson Smith. Heartened by this find, Mordell evidently decided to go a number of steps farther, and having at hand an attractive portrait of Whittier as a young man, fiery eyes, crisp black hair, and square, straight shoulders, he made the most of his advantages.
