Joel BarlowJoel Barlow first achieved national fame when his nine-volume epic poem, The Vision of Columbus, was published in 1787. It is said that in this work Barlow was the first writer in English to use the words "civil," "civic" and "civilization," with their modern meanings. In addition to his work as an author, he also did some diplomatic work for the United States.
John Trumbull published his most significant poem, M'Fingal (a satiric attack on British military leaders during the Revolutionary War), in 1782. After the war he abandoned poetry for politics, serving in several Connecticut state offices.
