Ten years later, Benet took his fantasy story, The Devil and Daniel Webster, which combined an old folk tale with the history of New England, and adapted it into a folk opera. He then wrote the screenplay for a movie of the same title, which was also known as: All That Money Can Buy, A Certain Mr. Scratch, Daniel and the Devil, and Here is a Man. 

Stephen, who studied at Yale University, was published at an early age. His works include his 1920 volume of poetry, Heavens and Earth, novels, Young People’s Pride and Spanish Bayonet, and a collection of short stories, Thirteen O’Clock. 

Benet, who was married to the former Rosemary Carr, died at the early age of 45, before he completed his last narrative poem about the settling of America. Western Star, the completed first section of the epic, earned Benet another Pulitzer Prize, this one posthumously. (His brother William was honored with his own Pulitzer the previous year.) 

One hundred years after his birth, Stephen Vincent Benet was honored with his portrait on a U.S. stamp. The unveiling of the stamp was held at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, the scene of John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry during the Civil War. If you have ever read any of Benet’s poetry, you would have to agree with Don Campbell, the Superintendent of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, when he said, “This is really where John Brown’s soul and Stephen Vincent Benet’s poetry come together for an eternity.” 

Benet’s son, Thomas, said, “Who knows what he might have accomplished had he lived longer. I feel this occasion would have pleased him immensely.” 

The American poet, Stephen Vincent Benet, will live forever through his poetry.
