| General note | "In November, 1821, the Philomathic Society of Cincinnati College offered ... a gold medal ... for the best poem that should be written for the occasion, by a citizen of the western country. ... these restrictions were imposed:--that it should consist of not less that 400 lines; and that whatever natural scenery, historical incidents or existing institutions might be commemorated, should be of a western character."--p.
