==Proposed deletion of I'm Just A Boy== |
|||
As a young government worker in Washington, D.C., Blood was in the city at the time of [[Abraham Lincoln]]'s assassination. His letters to his mother on the aftermath of the assassination and the trial of the conspirators were discovered in 2005 in one of the homes of [[Robert Todd Lincoln]], and reveal an interesting impression of contemporary public sentiment concerning the events. |

A [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] template has been added to the article [[I'm Just A Boy]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion|criteria for inclusion]], and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|What Wikipedia is not]]" and [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|Wikipedia's deletion policy]]). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the <code>{{tl|dated prod}}</code> notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on [[Talk:I'm Just A Boy|its talk page]]. |
|||
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the [[WP:PROD|proposed deletion process]], the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion criteria]] or it can be sent to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for Deletion]], where it may be deleted if [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] to delete is reached.<!-- Template:PRODWarning --> [[User:Esanchez7587|<i><span style="background:Blue"><font color="Yellow">Esa</font></span><font color="green">nchez</font></i>]]<sub>([[User_talk:Esanchez7587|Talk 2 me]] or [[User:Esanchez7587/Autograph book|Sign here]])</sub> 23:11, 7 September 2008 (UTC) |

He was married twice, first, October 15, 1862, to Mary Jeannie Marshall, daughter of Orlando Marshall of New Ipswich, New Hampshire, and second, October 19, 1880, to Mary E. Miller, daughter of Col. Ephraim F. and Catherine (Seymour) Miller. From his second marriage he had one son, Royal Henry Blood, born July 29, 1884, who died young in 1892. |
|||
== If I Were a Boy == |
|||
Blood died at his home in in Washington, D.C. and was buried with his son in New Ipswich, New Hampshire. His widow married again after his death, on February 11, 1902, to Col. Royal E. Whitman. Upon her own death in 1905 she bequeathed to the Public Library of New Ipswich $10,000 to establish The Henry Ames Blood and Royal Henry Blood Memorial Fund for the maintenance of the library, and another $10,000 to the town of Temple, New Hampshire, $8,000 for the erection of a schoolhouse, to be known as the "Henry Ames Blood and Mary Miller Blood School," and $2,000 for the care and maintenance of the town common. These bequests were to be paid after the death of Col. Whitman. |

''If I Were a Boy'' does not meet the guidelines contained in [[WP:NSONGS]], and a separate article cannot be justified at this time. It probably can be in a month or so. Please have patience, and don't undo the redirection until it has charted on multiple charts or has been covered by multiple artists.—[[User:Kww|Kww]]([[User talk:Kww|talk]]) 15:47, 13 October 2008 (UTC) |

==Works== |
|||
Blood's ''The History of Temple, N. H.'' (1860) is still considered an important resource for the history of that region. |
|||
His poetry was highly regarded and anthologized in his own day, when he was considered in the first rank of American poets, but has been dismissed as overly-sentimental by later critics. Among the periodicals and newspapers his verse appeared in were |
|||
''[[Boston Daily Advertiser|Boston Advertiser]]'', ''[[The Century Magazine|The Century Illustrated Magazine]]'', ''[[Christian Union]]'', ''[[Dollar Monthly Magazine]]'', ''[[Flag of Our Union]]'', ''[[Harper's Weekly]]'', ''[[The Independent (magazine)|The Independent]]'', ''[[The Knickerbocker|The Knickerbocker Monthly]]'', ''[[The Magazine of Poetry and Literary Review]]'', ''[[New England Magazine]]'', ''[[New York Observer]]'', ''[[New York Post]]'', ''[[New York Tribune]]'', ''[[Scribner's Magazine]]'', ''[[Town & Country (magazine)|The Home Journal]]'', and ''[[Youth's Companion|The Youth's Companion]]''. |
|||
Blood's dramatic works appear never to have made much of an impression, either in his own lifetime or since. |
