Eugene R. White

"Mr. Eugene R. White is a young Baltimore man, a graduate of John Hopkins University, and [Songs of Good Fighting] is his first published collection of verses. They are rarely homogeneous in their quality, and show that Mr. White has decided for himself, at least during the period of work that these cover, that his inspiration was fittest for one thing--to write stirring sea ballads, with a very piratical dash and a stormy swing. The style of many of them is modeled closely after Mr. Kipling's ballad work."
