The Volunteer Organist and Sam Walter Foss Debate
The New England poet Sam Walter Foss claims he first found Victor H. Benke the Austrian inspiration for his poem The Volunteer Organist and the Bowery Mission anecdote that sparked the work. Foss, librarian at Somerville, cites Benke as the basis for his verse and for the related song and play. He places the scene in a country church and recalls the volunteer organist tale amid memories of hardship and devotion.
