A gifted writer of almost all major literary forms, Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. was one of the celebrated New England "Fireside Poets". He achieved fame writing poetry and comic verse, for which he won early national acclaim with the publication of "Old Ironsides", rousing public sentiment against the destruction of the USS Constitution.
