Quite Contrary Man The Dial Press As nature's lights go outIn early nineteenth century New England, folks considered a clean chin a sign of godliness. Born into this buttoned up, strict society, Joseph Palmer stood out from childhood as someone who liked to do things his own way. A friend to Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Alcotts, Palmer lived by his own code and grew a belly flowing beard that made his neighbors so crazy that they tried forcibly to shave him. He fought back and ended up in prison for a year.
