Edmund Flagg William Turner Coggeshall, The Poets and Poetry of the West: With Biographical and Critical Notices 201 (Columbus, Ohio: Follett, Foster and Company, 1860):
[Curiosity, there is no mention in
the biographical sketch of Flagg in George Bancroft Griffith (ed.),
The Poets of Maine 188 (Portland, Maine: Elwell, Pickard &
Co., 1888) of Flagg's association with the legal profession. Griffith
does point out that Flagg graduated with distinction from Bowdoin
College. There is also mention that he then resided on a farm at Highland
View, near Falls Church, Virginia and had done so for some several
years. Oscar Fay Adams, in his dictionary of American authors, indicates
that Flagg lived in West Salem, Virginia. Oscar Fay Adams, A Dictionary
of American Authors 130 (Boston: Houghton, Mifflin and Company,
1899)]
