While details about their friendship remain scarce, it is known that Richardson accompanied Simms on the writer's first trip to the North, and Simms dedicated his long 1832 narrative poem \u003ci\u003eAtalantis\u003c\/i\u003e to him. Simms's feelings for Richardson are most clearly stated in his letters. Writing to Lawson on 25 October 1832, Simms commented on the \"melancholy intelligence of the death of a very near \u0026amp; dear friend, Maynard Richardson.\" \u003ci\u003eThe Remains of Maynard Davis Richardson: With a Memoir of His Life By His Friends\u003c\/i\u003e consists of a sizeable biographical sketch of Richardson, along with over two hundred pages of literary, critical, and political writings by Davis edited and annotated by Simms. Included are poetry and aphorisms; essays on John C. Calhoun, tariffs, and other political and philosophical subjects; as well as critical writings on subjects as varied as the value of Classical education and the possibilities of a distinctly American literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Gilmore Simms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611175801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611175806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of South Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.72d","brand":"William Gilmore Simms","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097014214911,"sku":"9781611175806","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-remains-of-maynard-davis-william-gilmore-simms-9781611175806","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
