After returning east he wrote many newspaper and magazine articles and several books which drew on his experiences with the Indians and this poem a satirical commentary on the state of American poetry and poets "that rocked the small literary world of Boston for a time. But the onslaughts of his political and literary foes combined with personal misfortunes gradually drove him to dispair and he took refuge in drink. To the great delight of his ill-wishers he spent four months in the House of Correction but he emerged broken rather than in health or in spirit. He continued as an independent journalist and in 1847 became the editor of the Boston Herald which he conducted with great vigor for one year before he died in Chelsea at the age of forty-four burned out.
