Religion
In the 1960s, Blount became a devoted evangelical Christian. A biography which focuses heavily on his spiritual life entitled The Man from Steamtown was written by James R. Adair in 1967. Blount sought to preserve an evangelical Christian legacy by donating his Dublin, New Hampshire, homestead and its surrounding farm buildings, pastures, and forest in 1964 to a group of committed Christian educators, headed by Mel Moody, who worked together to develop Staghead Farm (as it was then called) into Dublin Christian Academy, a combined elementary school and secondary boarding school.
