Frederic Lauriston Bullard war ein amerikanischer christlicher Geistlicher und Redakteur, dessen Schriften sich auf Gerechtigkeit und überzeugende Argumentation konzentrierten. Seine journalistische Arbeit brachte ihm einen Pulitzer-Preis ein, der seine Fähigkeit unterstreicht, die öffentliche Meinung durch durchdachte redaktionelle Kommentare zu beeinflussen. In seinen Essays befasste er sich eingehend mit den moralischen Dilemmata und sozialen Fragen seiner Zeit. Bullards Vermächtnis liegt in seinem unerschütterlichen Engagement für ethischen Journalismus und seinem Einfluss auf den intellektuellen Diskurs.

Excerpt from Summer Haunts: From Newport to Portland Happy he whom neither wealth nor fashion, Nor the march of the encroaching city, Drives an exile From the hearth of his ancestral homestead.
