Of his many books of poetry and fiction, he may be best known for his semi-autobiographical novel, The Story of a Bad Boy and his collection of short stories, Majorie Daw and Other People.  The Stillwater Tragedy which was published in 1880 is set in a small New England manufacturing town whose tranquility is disturbed first by the murder of one of its prominent citizens followed soon thereafter by a general strike of all the trades-unions. As the story develops, Richard Shackford, the murdered man’s nephew, finds himself inextricably caught up in both these events.","icons":[{"src":"https://deow9bq0xqvbj.cloudfront.net/image-logo/18509220/The_Stillwater_Tragedy_pjb5d8_300x300.jpg","sizes":"300x300","type":"image/png"}]}
