Eius operibus multo petitis, ab annis 1820 ad annos 1850, Sedgwick quaestum fecit fabulis brevibus pro variis periodicis scribendis. Facta est una e notissimis mythistoriarum scripticibus Americanis eius temporis. Opera de prospectibus Americae Septentrionalis scribere solebat, amorem patriae cum obtestationibus historicae Puritanorum dominationis miscens. Res quibus studebat progressui litterarum publicarum serviebant, quae contortis naturae descriptionibus amplificabantur. Heros muliebres excogitavit quae sese ad tritos mulierum mores eodem tempore non accommodabant. Republicanum matris statum promovebat.

Anno 1839 ad Europam navigavit, ubi Letters from Abroad to Kindred at Home scripsit; ea autem ad patriam reversa, hae epistulae in duobus voluminibus collectae prolatae sunt. Eius corpus in sepulcreto familiari apud Stockbridge inhumatum est.
