| Orange County can claim the distinction of
having been the home of many men and women who have achieved literary
fame as poets, historians, journalists and writers, the work of several
having found a permanent place in English literature. Chief among her
poets may be mentioned Nathaniel Parker Willis, of Cornwall, and
Goshen's sweet singer, Mrs. Ethel Lynn Eliot Beers. Poems of both these
writers are to be found in Bryant's "Family Library of Poetry and Song,"
a standard work of international reputation.
