 INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 In a recent issue of the New York Sun a writer who obtained 
 his facts from the official report informs his readers that there 
 are more than a million natives of Ohio living in other states 
 
 and that no other state has such a 
 record. Not even the commonwealth 
 of New York contributes so much to 
 the population of other states as does 
 Ohio. The figures show that 200,000 
 natives of Ohio live in Indiana, 90,000 
 in Michigan, 90,000 in Kansas, 30,000 
 in California, 15,000 in Oklahoma, 10,- 
 000 in Texas and nearly 5,000 in 
 Washington City. "Ohio is not so 
 populous a State as Illinois," says the 
 article in the Sun, "but at the time of 
 the last Federal enumeration it had a 
 larger number of persons in the mili- 
 tary and naval service of the United 
 States than its more populous neighbor. It has more of its 
 natives in Hawaii than Pennsylvania has and it is practically 
 the only Western State which has contributed much to the popu- 
 lation of New England." 
 
 The exodic habit upon which the metropolitan journalist 
 dilates, appears to affect Ohioans of every rank and vocation, 
 the soldier, the man of politics, the man of money, the captain 
 of industry, the scientist, the artist, the author. But, "once a 
 Buckeye always a Buckeye," whether at home or away from 
 home. Wherever the Greek goes, there is Hellas : Ohio's 
 migratory sons and daughters go forth equipped with a varied 
 assortment of "Ohio Ideas" adapted to all environments and 
 ready for immediate use.

 The literary men and women from one or another of the 
 eighty-eight shires of Ohio have done and are doing their full 
 part in aiding to establish the supremacy of things true, honest, 
 just, pure and of good report. They have done the State effi- 
 cacious service and their vital influence has pervaded the nation 
 and helped to create public opinion. In every field of intellectual 
 labor their energy has been exerted. Their power has wrought 
 in the upbuilding of institutions political, social and educational, 
 no less than in raising the House Beautiful of letters and art. 
 Their aggregate contribution to the knowledge and culture of 
 the last hundred years is copious and of an average excellence 
 sufficiently high to command the respectful attention of the re- 
 viewer and the historian. 
 
 A prodigious mass of printed matter has been manufactured 
 in Ohio since the date of its admission to the Federal Union. 
 The magnitude of the publishing industry in the State may be 
 inferred from the immense trade in special kinds of books, such, 
 for instance, as works on education or law or history. 
 
 Statistics show that in the school book business Ohio has 
 long held a leading rank among the producing centers of the 
 world. Millions upon millions of copies of school and college 
 text-books have been published in the State within the last three 
 quarters of a century. Few others states have developed so 
 large a quota of pedagogical authors as has Ohio. A single 
 American company of educational publishers advertises in its 
 trade catalogue, among numerous other issues, about two hundred 
 different books by Ohio authors alone. 
 
 In the production and distribution of law-books Ohio has 
 been signally active and progressive. One firm in the Queen 
 City publishes ninety-seven, and another firm fifty-seven stand- 
 ard words — in all one hundred and fifty-four volumes and sets 
 of volumes among which are included many of the most import- 
 ant treatises known to the legal profession — and these are not 
 only published in Ohio, — they are, in the main, composed by 
 Ohio authors. 
 
 The output in the State, of original works in medicine, surg- 
 ery, and allied specialties, though not so voluminous as that in 
 law-books, is nevertheless plentiful.

 But perhaps the energy of the Ohio intellect has nowhere 
 been more effectively exerted than in the sphere of history and 
 archaeology. The State itself and the several counties of it, afford 
 numberless attractive themes for the annalist, the politician, the 
 student of civilization. Some idea of the amount that has been 
 written 'concerning the state may be obtained by a glance at 
 Thomson's "Bibliography of the State of Ohio," 1880, which 
 briefly describes oyer fourteen hundred different books and 
 pamphlets relating almost wholly to the history of Ohio. This 
 number of titles is far greater than is to be found in any printed 
 list of publications bearing upon any other state. The exceptional 
 distinction in which Ohio is held as a center of historical interests 
 and collections was strikingly witnessed to by the late John Fiske 
 who, in his "History of the United States," advised his readers 
 to apply to the "Robert Clarke Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, who 
 keep by far the largest collection of books on America that can 
 be found on sale in this country." Ohio writers have shown as 
 much energy and enterprise in historical research and statement 
 as have book-sellers in collecting and cataloguing. Probably the 
 richest and fullest department of the literature produced in the 
 State is the department of history. 
 
 The great outside world in general, and, in special, the 
 academic and critical world, will naturally inquire what Ohio 
 has contributed, within the century, to literature proper, literature 
 restricted to writings which appeal to the taste and imagination 
 and which depend for their acceptance upon the artistic and 
 beautiful use of words in fitting forms of prose or poetry. That 
 the accomplishment of Ohio authors, native and adopted, in pure 
 belles lettres, — that is, in polite essay, criticism, oratory, fiction 
 and poetry, — is all that could have been expected and is on a 
 par with the similar work of cotemporary writers in the other 
 states, — it is part of the purpose of this paper to demonstrate. 
 
 It would seem from the evidence afforded by the publishing 
 industry, the libraries, colleges and bibliographies, that, in literary 
 activity, Cincinnati holds the lead. Cleveland, of course, ranks 
 next in order and Columbus, third. Other centers of culture 
 in which the vocation of quill-driving' has flourished or is now 
 in the flowering or fruiting season, are Chillicothe, Oberlin, 
 Toledo and Springfield. In the oldest burg of the State, the 
 
Ohio Centennial. 585 
 
 dignified little city of Marietta, at least seventy different books 
 by native authors have been published, not to mention a large 
 number of sermons, addresses and magazine articles, by local 
 clergymen and professors. Dayton, Sandusky, Akron, Norwalk, 
 Ste'ubenville, Ashtabula, and a dozen other places within Ohio's 
 borders, have each produced their quota of men and women who 
 write. Almost every village in the State has its library, its 
 literary society, its newspaper, — and can point with pride to its 
 risen or rising stars in the heaven of magazine fame. 
 
 The statistics and generalized facts just given, afford suf- 
 ficient evidence that the pen, the press and the bindery, in Ohio, 
 have not been idle during the century the close of which is sig- 
 nalized by a celebration this year, in the old capital, Chillicothe. 
 There is no disputing that books in great abundance and of great 
 variety, have been, and are to be, recokned among the staples pro- 
 duced by a considerable class of Ohio citizens. The old scripture 
 applies to the new age, — "Of making many books there is no 
 end." 
 
 What, it may be asked, may be said of the worth, relative 
 and absolute, of this accumulating mass of facts, thoughts, and 
 imaginings, in print ? 
 
 The value of a literature must be tested not by quantity but 
 by quality, nevertheless a prolific yield of books implies fecundity 
 in the mental world, as increase of population does in the physical. 
 Some vigor and intelligence are required in making even the 
 feeblest pamphlet. The "American Review of Reviews," for 
 April 1903, contains an article, written by Murat Halstead and 
 entitled, "A Century of the State of Ohio," in which timely and 
 eloquent contribution to Buckeye literature occurs this forceful 
 paragraph : "In addition to the heroic quality of the immigrants 
 who possessed Ohio there seemed to be influences of soil and 
 climate, of airs and waters, of the fruitful woods and living 
 streams ; and there was, by the mighty magic of creation, in the 
 brains and blood, the tissue and sinew of men and the grace and 
 faith of women that yielded a growth of manhood and woman- 
 hood in a race equal to the founding of a mighty nation, with 
 the inheritance of all the Empires gone before — the conquest 
 of the beneficient continent, that in a few generations has given 
 
586 Ohio Arch, and His. Society Publications. 
 
 weight to America, in the scales of destiny, equal to that of 
 Europe." 
 
 The influences, the fruitfulness, the brains and blood in 
 which Mr. Halstead discovers the creative cause of the political 
 and military prowess of the Ohio people, are also the source 
 from which flow the literary energy and enterprize manifested 
 in the State. 
 
 By virtue of its location and history Ohio is a typical com- 
 monwealth, an exponent of the spirit and of the general culture 
 prevailing in the Ohio Valley and in the region bordered by 
 lakes Erie, Huron, Michigan and Superior. The five sister states 
 who now divide among them the ownership of what was the 
 Old' Northwest are daughters of the Ordinance of 1787, and 
 Ohio, the first born of the five, once held potential sway over 
 the destiny of the whole domain. She transmitted to the younger 
 members of the geographical family, as one by one they took 
 up the functions of maturity, the virtues and aspirations in- 
 herited from her stalwart and ambitious progenitors. A per- 
 sistent likeness of features common to them all denotes the con- 
 sanguinity of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. 
 These states are in commercial and political sympathy, their 
 interests are alike, their organic laws are similar, their systems 
 of education agree, their conceptions of life and art and liter- 
 ature are in essential harmony. 
 
 There was an era, and that not so long ago, when the states 
 now called Central, including Kentucky, called themselves dis- 
 tinctively The West, and considered their literature an indi- 
 genous species for the honor and glory of which they contended 
 with passionate provincialism. They were jealous of competi- 
 tion and would protect their infant industry of prose and poetry, 
 by a wall of prejudice. But in the process of nationalization 
 more liberal ideas were evolved and educated people gradually 
 gave up the crude notion that there ought to be or could be 
 an independent, local literature, fostered mainly for home con- 
 sumption. They realized that art is art the world over. A novel 
 or a poem which is worthless in Ohio cannot be good in Massa- 
 chusetts or in Alaska, though it may be marketable ; — a book 
 which is intrinsically excellent is excellent everywhere, whether 
 accepted or rejected by the reading public. 
 
Ohio Centennial. 587 
 
 The State of Ohio has become a vital member of the Na- 
 tional Republic of letters. Her authors are not merely Ohio 
 men and women, they are American men and women. 
 
 An element of state pride necessarily and properly enters 
 into one's feelings and judgments in literature, as in politics, 
 trade or any other sphere of human effort and purpose. But local 
 considerations must merge and lose themselves in larger views. 
 Literature, like patriotism has regard to the whole nation. Not 
 that we love Ohio less, but the United States of America more. 
 
 In the realm of books, — in the spacious commonwealth of 
 the fine arts in general, — no state lines are drawn, no bigotry 
 can exist, but universal magnanimity is the law and the motive 
 there. Even national boundaries are freely crossed by the 
 devotee of liberal culture, — genius ranges the globe and is 
 modern through all time. The few great and permanent classics 
 are the world's common treasure no matter in what continent 
 or country they happen to come to birth. 
 
 PIONEER BOOKS AND PENS IN OHIO. 
 
 The founders of Ohio were not illiterate men. On the 
 contrary many of them had formed the reading habit in the east 
 and thev did not neglect to bring books along when they moved 
 to Marietta, Cincinnati, Chillicothe and Cleveland, to establish a 
 new state. There was a public library in Belpre as early as the 
 vear 1796. The first Cincinnati library was opened in March 
 
 1802, and the far famed "Coonskin Library," in Athens County, 
 began to circulate its precious volumes in the backwoods, in 
 
 1803, exactly a century ago. 
 
 The first book printed in Ohio was "Maxwell's Code," a 
 small octavo containing the laws of the Northwestern Territory. 
 This appeared in 1796. Dr. Daniel Drake's potent little hand- 
 book, "A Picture of Cincinnati," came out in 1815. In it the 
 author says : "Ten years ago there had not been printed in this 
 place a single volume; but since the year 181 1, twelve different 
 books besides many pamphlets, have been executed." 
 
 In 1820, John P. Foote started a Type Foundry and a Book 
 Store, in the Queen City, and there, ten years later, the publishing

 house of Morgan, Lodge and Fisher had business enough to 
 require five presses each of which threw off 5000 printed sheets 
 daily. At about the same date, was organized the firm of Tru- 
 man and Smith, which in time grew to be the most extensive 
 schoolbook house in the world. The veteran U. P. James, began 
 to publish in 1832, and his establishment became so flourishing, 
 that it was popularly distinguished as the "Harpers' of the West." 
 
 There existed in Cincinnati, in 1813, an organization called 
 "The School of Literature and the Arts," the first president of 
 which was the Honorable Josiah Meigs. Twenty years latei, 
 sprang up the "Western Literary Institute and College of Pro- 
 fessional Teachers," of which, an eminent alumnus of Princeton 
 wrote: "It is doubtful whether in one association, in an equal 
 time, there was ever concentrated, in this country, a larger 
 measure of talent, information and zeal." The proceedings of 
 this renowned college may be found in six published volumes 
 of "Transactions," a set of books now rare, and not without 
 value to the student of pedagogics and of early western culture. 
 The energies of the association were eventually transmitted to The 
 Society for the Promotion of Useful Knowledge, The Mechanics' 
 Institute, The Historical and Philosophical Society of Ohio, The 
 Academy of Fine Arts, and other educative bodies. That such 
 agencies for intellectual advancement were fostered so early in 
 the history of the Buckeye Commonwealth, goes to show that 
 letters and arts had made considerable progress in some parts of 
 the State long before Johnny Appleseed distributed bibles and 
 tracts among the frontier settlers, or Francis Glass, the nomadic 
 schoolmaster of the wildwood, wrote in the Latin language his 
 life of George Washington. 
 
 At a comparatively early period in the development of Ohio, 
 the kingdom of the quill and the type-case was largely con- 
 trolled, in the then "West," by five able and energetic enthusiasts, 
 Dr. Daniel Drake, Rev. Timothy Flint, Judge James Hall, Hon. 
 E. D. Mansfield, and the poet Wm. D. Gallagher. Three of the 
 number were born near the close of the eighteenth century, and 
 two, at the very beginning of the nineteenth. Their lives and 
 services I have endeavored to chronicle in a published volume,* 
 
 t The Beginnings of Literary Culture in the Ohio Valley. 
 
Ohio Centennial. 589 
 
 and there is no need for more than a mere allusion to them in 
 this condensed summary. Suffice it here to say that every one of 
 the five mentioned deserves to be remembered gratefully for his 
 devotion to the things of the mind, and that credit is especially 
 due to the memory of Mr. Gallagher, who labored indefatigably 
 in the cause of literature for its own sake. 
 
 EARLY PERIODICAL LITERATURE. 
 
 The newspaper, especially the Sunday newspaper of the 
 present clay, has become the vast circulating library of the people. 
 Most of the magazines which are so widely distributed and read 
 throughout the country, come from the East. The curious inves- 
 tigator who examines the dusty files of old Western newspapers 
 and periodicals, will be astonished to discover how great was 
 the quantity and variety of this kind of literature, issued from 
 Ohio presses, before the State had reached even her semi- 
 centennial. Of a list of 120 periodicals, monthly and weekly, 
 published in the Ohio Valley anterior to i860, more than 90 
 were printed in Ohio. The Ohio State Library contains in 
 bound volumes, fifty-two different literary periodicals published 
 in Ohio. Neither newspapers nor professional journals are in- 
 cluded in the catalogue : the periodicals referred to were devoted 
 chiefly to literature, and they furnished their readers with much 
 that was original and often well wTitten, — in prose and verse — 
 story, poem, comment, criticism, and essay. A bare transcription 
 of the names of a few of the most meritorious and influential of 
 these early ventures, is all the notice I can give them now. 
 From the ninety I select the following eleven : '"The Literary 
 Cadet," Cincinnati, 1819, Editor, Dr. J. R. Buchanan; "The 
 Literary Gazette," Cincinnati, 1824-5, John P Foote ; "The 
 Western Review," Cincinnati, 1827-30, Timothy Flint ; "The 
 Cincinnati Mirror," 1830-36, W. D. Gallagher; "The Western 
 Monthly Magazine," 1832-37, James Hall; "The Western Mes- 
 senger," 1835-41, James Freeman Clarke; "The Hesperian," Co- 
 lumbus and Cincinnati, 1838-41, W. D. Gallagher; "The Ladies' 
 depository," 1841-76: "The Herald of Truth," t 847-8, L. A. 
 
590 Ohio Arch, and His. Society Publications. 
 
 Hine; "The Genius of the West," 1853-56, W. T. Coggeshall; 
 "The Dial," i860, M. D. Conway. 
 
 Since the Civil War, the business of publishing literary 
 magazines has not flourished in Ohio, or, to any great extent, 
 in the west generally, the demand for such periodicals being 
 supplied mainly by New York, Boston and Philadelphia. But 
 the newspapers during the war period, as before and after, were 
 maintained as indispensable vehicles, not only to purvey news 
 and politics, but to carry popular literature to a 1 most every house 
 and home. The excitements of the years 1861-5 intensified 
 men's thoughts and feelings, and gave force and color to what 
 was written for print. Those times of storm and stress brought 
 out the best powers of many editors, field correspondents, and 
 purposeful contributors to the press. The State of Ohio enjoys 
 a full share of distinction on account of her newspaper men and 
 newspaper literature. Some of her journals made it an object 
 to encourage and reward praiseworthy effort in the higher forms 
 of composition, — that is, in literature proper, as distinguished 
 from ordinary reportorial work and editorial commonplace. 
 Many men and women, in Ohio, learned to write skillfully, by 
 taking pains to meet the most exacting requirements of critical 
 editors, and were thus trained in the school of practical jour- 
 nalism to become ready with the pen, and, in some cases, fitted for 
 the authorship of successful books. 
 
 SOME OHIO JOURNALISTS. 
 
 Charles Hammond (1779- 1840), born in Baltimore and edu- 
 cated in the University of Virginia, came to Ohio in his early 
 manhood ; started the "Ohio Federalist," in Belmont County ; 
 was a member of the state legislature (1816-21), and reporter 
 for the Supreme Court of Ohio (1823); and from 1825 to 
 1840, editor in chief of the Cincinnati Gazette. He was a man 
 of Hamiltonian power and versatility, admired by Clay and 
 eulogized by Webster as the '"greatest genius who ever wielded 
 the political pen." His formidable rival on the Jackson side 
 was Moses Dawson, editor of the Cincinnati "Advertiser." 
 
Ohio Centennial. 591 
 
 Edward Deering Mansfield (1801-1880), a graduate of West 
 Point and of Princeton, migrated to Cincinnati in 1825, formed 
 a law partnership with O. M. Mitchell, the astronomer, and 
 became a political writer of great influence. He was for a time 
 a professor in Cincinnati College, and afterwards editor of the 
 Gazette, and correspondent of the New York Times, under the 
 pseudonym of ''Veteran Observer." Besides his work as pub- 
 licist and newspaper man, Mansfield engaged in authorship, pro- 
 ducing a popular "Political Grammar," a "Life of Daniel Drake," 
 "Life of Scott," "History of the Mexican War," a book on 
 '"American Education,'' "Personal Memoirs," etc. 
 
 Orville James Victor (1827 — ), was born in Sandusky 
 and brought up to the newspaper business in Ohio. After 
 achieving a reputation as a writer, he removed to New York 
 where he now resides and is still engaged in active literary pur- 
 suits. In addition to his labors in miscellaneous journalism, he 
 has found time and energy to write an elaborate "History of 
 the Southern Rebellion," "A History of American Conspiracies," 
 and several biographies. 
 
 Murat Halstead (1829 — ), born in Butler County, educated 
 in the common school and in Farmer's College, one of the fore- 
 most of American journalists, is a typical Ohio man, selfmade 
 and thoroughly made. His trenchant pen has been, and is, like 
 unto a sword, and has helped to fight many political battles. 
 Aside from his prodigious labors in the field of controversy, 
 he has done a great deal in lines distinctively cultural and literary, 
 being a brilliant and successful magazine writer and general 
 author. While proprietor of the Cincinnati Commercial, Mr. 
 Halstead did much to raise the standard of newspaper matter 
 and to encourage merit in writers. His influence on the litera- 
 ture of the Ohio Valley has been great. Among his published 
 works are the following: "The Convention of i860," "The White 
 Dollar," "The Story of Cuba," "The Life of Wm. McKinley," 
 "The Story of the Philippines," "The History of American Ex- 
 pansion," "Our Country in War," "Official History of the War 
 with Spain," "Life of Admiral Dewey," "The Great Century," 
 "The Boer, and the British War," "The Galveston Tragedy," 
 "A Life of Roosevelt." 
 
592 Ohio Arch, and His. Society Publications. 
 
 Henry Van Ness Boynton (1835 — ), another distinguished 
 journalist from Ohio, and not less famed as a military hero in 
 two wars, — now chairman of the Chattanooga National Mili- 
 tary Park Commission, is the author of two notable books : 
 "Sherman's Historical Raid, a Response to and Criticism of 
 Gen. Sherman's Memoirs," and "The Chickamauga National 
 Military Park." 
 
 Whitelaw Reid (1837 — ), editor of the New York Tribune, 
 late U. S. Minister to France, was born in Xenia, and educated 
 in Oxford, Ohio, and though he has long been a resident of 
 New York, he remains faithful to his native state and makes 
 frequent pilgrimage to the scenes of his boyhood experiences on 
 the banks of the Little Miami. Mr. Reid has won many honors 
 as journalist, diplomat and author of vital books. His great 
 work, "Ohio in the War," ranks among the standard authorities 
 in the history not only of Ohio but of the Republic. It is a 
 book which grows in value as the years pass. Other books by 
 the same author are: "After the War," 1867; "Schools of Jour- 
 nalism," "Newspaper Tendencies," "Two Speeches at the Queen's 
 Jubilee," "A Continental Union," "Problems of Expansion," and 
 "Our New Interests." 
 
 Colonel Donn Piatt (1819-1891), "Donn Piatt of Mack-o- 
 chee," one of Ohio's most original, daring and picturesque char- 
 acters, was conspicuous during a long and varied career in which 
 he acted a brilliant though often eccentric part. His bold and 
 aggressive course, as lawyer, diplomat, and partizan editor has 
 been detailed in Charles Miller's "Donn Piatt : His Work and 
 his Ways." Mr. Piatt was the author of "The Life of General 
 George H. Thomas," a narrative which was described in the 
 Westminster Review, as "The record of great genius told by a 
 genius." Besides his historical writings and his varied news- 
 paper work, Donn Piatt produced several books in imaginative 
 literature, viz: "Poems and Plays," "Sunday Meditations," and 
 "The Lone Grave of the Shenandoah." 
 
 As in politics and military affairs, the genius of Ohio has 
 shown itself bold and aggressive in journalism, employing the 
 press as a powerful agency for the enligtenment of public opin- 
 ion. Never has the "small drop of ink," been put to more direct, 
 
Ohio Centennial. 593 
 
 practical and potent use, than by some of the. resolute and fear- 
 less young journalists of the Buckeye State. The modern world 
 has developed many famous newspaper correspondents, knights 
 errant of the note-book, adventurous souls who forged to the 
 front of danger to report the climaxes of history and of battle. 
 These men have shown indeed that often Captain Pen is mightier 
 than Captain Sword. They have wielded words to conquer 
 armies, — and to lift up states. Two conspicuous examples may 
 here be given of soldiers of fortune who won better than fame 
 at the point of the pencil. 
 
 George Kennan (1845 — ), born in Norwalk, Ohio, started 
 self-supporting life by practicing the telegraphic art, in Cincin- 
 nati. He it was who traversed fifteen hundred miles of Siberia, 
 saw the prisoned exiles of the Czar, learned the facts concerning 
 Russian despotism, and gave to the civilized nations such knowl- 
 edge as must eventually result in reform. The American peri- 
 odical in which his graphic accounts were published was sup- 
 pressed in Russia by the authorities at St. Petersburg. Never- 
 theless Kennan's searchlight shone and still shines, illuminating 
 darkest Russia. His books, "Tent Life in Siberia," "Siberia and 
 the Exile System," may fairly be assumed to have hastened 
 those changes of national and inter-national sentiment, which 
 compelled alterations in the policy of the Czar, and induced him 
 a few months ago to issue a decree enlarging Russia's liberties 
 and abating despotic ills. 
 
 On Ohio's beadroll of heroes is the name of Januarius Aloy- 
 sius MacGahan (1844-1878), the American journalist who may 
 be said to have used the sword of Russia to strike off the Turkish 
 shackles from an oppressed state and on whom history has be- 
 stowed the name "Liberator of Bulgaria." In the words of 
 Henry Howe: "His experiences, in variety, during the few years 
 of his foreign life, probably were never equalled by any journalist, 
 and never did one accomplish so much, excepting Stanley." Of 
 MacGahan's work, regarded as to its literary merit, the great 
 English war-correspondent Forbes says, "there is nothing which 
 ■ excels it in vividness, in pathos, in a burning earnestness of 
 purpose, in a glow of conviction that fires from heart to heart." 
 
594 Ohio Arch, and His. Society Publications. 
 
 The name and fame of MacGahan have been lauded with just 
 enthusiasm, by several distinguished pens. The man was born 
 and is buried in Perry County, a shire which took its name from 
 the victor in the Battle of Lake Erie, and in which Sheridan 
 was reared to manhood. 
 
 In the catalogue of men of Ohio birth who have attained 
 distinction in journalism and have written important books, 
 belongs the name of Wm. Elroy Curtis (1856 — ), author of 
 "The United States and Foreign Powers," "Life of Zachariah 
 Chandler," "Japan Sketches," and "Venezuela." 
 
 Another worthy and unalienated though absent-from-home 
 son of Ohio, is Albert Shaw, of New York City (1857 — ), who 
 was born in Butler County. So well known to the public are 
 his good works in behalf of economic and social improvement 
 that his name is a synonym for civic benefactor. He is the pro- 
 prietor of the "Review of Reviews," and the author of "Icaria: 
 a Chapter in the History of Communism,'' and of those solid and 
 suggestive books: "Municipal Government in England," and 
 "Municipal Government in Continental Europe." 
 
 PERSONAL HISTORIES, MEMOIRS, ETC. 
 
 tlosely allied to the literature of journalism and connecting 
 i: with L^iory proper, is the class of books giving individual 
 vie As of events military or civil, in the experience of Ohio 
 citizens. To this department belong the writings of Joshua R. 
 Giddings (1795-1864), a volume of whose strong, clear, radical 
 speeches was published in 1853, anc ' whose incisive book, "The 
 Rebellion; Its Authors and Causes," came out on the year of 
 his death. His "Exiles of Florida," published in Columbus in 
 1858, recounts with power and pathos the historv of the negroes 
 in Florida. 
 
 The "Memoirs" of U. S. Grant (1822-1885), "dedicated to 
 the American soldier and sailor," a model of simple, sincere and 
 unassuming narrative, is always charming and often impressive 
 with the eloquence of plain truth. The volumes were composed 
 in the shadow of death, with the brave purpose of paying bor- 
 rowed money and of providing for the author's family; and the 
 published work eventually brought to Mrs. Grant, nearly half 
 
Ohio Centennial. 595 
 
 a million dollars, the greatest sucecss, it is said, that "a single 
 work has ever had." 
 
 Following 'the example of their great chief, two other 
 scarcely less honored Ohio generals, William Tecumseh Sherman 
 (1820-1891), and Philip Henry Sheridan (1831-1888), prepared 
 volumes of "Memoirs" for posthumous publication. These liter- 
 ary performances, though they have not escaped sharp criticism, 
 are worthy of the clear headed, generous hearted heroes who 
 wrote them. 
 
 James Abram Garfield (1831-1881), was at the head of a 
 college long before he rose to distinction in politics and in war, 
 and his interest in matters of culture and education was always 
 keen. The wide range of his reading, his power of thought and 
 of terse expression and his zealous advocacy of good principles, 
 all appear to advantage in his published "Works," edited by his 
 friend B. A. Hinsdale, also an Ohio author and scholar. Many 
 of President Garfield's sayings found lodgment in the affectionate 
 memory of the people. 
 
 Manning F. Force (1824-1899), gallant soldier and incor- 
 ruptible judge, was a life-long student, an accurate scholar and 
 precise writer of high merit. He is the author of the war his- 
 tories : "From Fort Henry to Corinth," "Marching Across Caro- 
 lina," "Recollections of the Vicksburg Campaign," and of several 
 pamphlets on archaeological questions. 
 
 Jacob Dolson Cox (1828-1900), Governor of Ohio, and gen- 
 eral in the Civil War, and member of the U. S. Cabinet, an ac- 
 complished orator and writer, one of America's progressive 
 men of science and culture, was a master of style and his work 
 belongs to standard literature. His principal books are : "At- 
 lanta : the March to the Sea," "Second Battle of Bull Run," and 
 "Military Recollections of the Civil War," the last being pub- 
 lished since its author's death. 
 
 Henry Martyn Cist (1839-1903), lawyer, soldier, originator 
 of the Chickamauga Park project, another highly esteemed son 
 of Ohio, is the author of two historical books: "The Army of 
 the Cumberland," and "The Life of Gen. George H. Thomas."

 Gen. Joseph Warren Keifer (1836 — ), ex-speaker of the 
 U. S. House of Representatives, a brave officer in the Civil War 
 and distinguished also in the war with Spain, chairman of the 
 Ohio Centennial Commission of 1903, has contributed to our 
 national literature a comprehensive and judicious work entitled 
 "Slavery and Four Years of War." 
 
 Gen. Roeliff Brinkerhoff (1828 — ), sociologist and prison 
 reformer of international repute, — chairman of the executive 
 committee of the Ohio Centennial, has recently published an 
 exceedingly valuable and entertaining volume bearing the title: 
 'KcvwLcctitjns of a Lifetime." 
 
 In the list of autobiographical writers in Ohio stands the 
 name of Levi Coffin reputed president of the "Underground Rail- 
 road," a sturdy abolitionist, whose intensely interesting book, 
 "Personal Reminiscences," is one of the unique and permanently 
 useful products of Buckeye history. 
 
 Another absorbing narrative of varied personal observa- 
 tion and experience is Wm. Cooper Howells's (1807-1894), 
 "Recollections of Life in Ohio, from 1813 to 1840," a book of 
 rare charm, intelliegnce and suggestiveness. Not one page of 
 this most delightful and authentic record of things as they were, 
 could be spared. 
 
 Col. Wm. E. Gilmore (1824 — ), Chillicothe, soldier, lawyer, 
 man of genial culture and magnanimous sympathies, is rightly 
 described by Ohio's chief historian as "an adept both with 
 tongue and pen." He it was who made the last speech delivered 
 in the old State Capitol at Chillicothe. Colonel Gilmore is a 
 wit, a poet and orator. His principal published work is, "The 
 Life of Edward Tiffin, First Governor of Ohio," a succinct 
 and authentic biography. Among his poems some of the most 
 noteworthy are, "Say-O-Wis, the Elk Chief," "Ossian at the 
 Grave of Oscar," and "Destruction of the Priesthood of Baal." 
 
 To a period somewhat prior to that of the writers just men- 
 tioned belongs Rev. James B. Finley, whose "Autobiography," 
 first published in "The Ladies' Resopitory," and afterwards in 
 book form (1871), abounds with anecdote and incident illustrative 
 of early life in Ohio.

 HISTORIES, LOCAL AND GENERAL. 
 
 The first attempt to collate the annals of Ohio was made by 
 Nahum Ward, : whose "Brief Sketch" was printed in 1822. 
 Eleven years later was issued Salmon P. Chase's "Preliminary 
 Sketch," prefixed to an edition of the "State Laws." After these 
 publications came: Caleb Atwater's "History of Ohio," 1838; 
 James W. Perkins's "Annals of the West," 1846; Jacob Burnet's 
 "Notes on the Northwestern Territory," 1847; Henry Howe's 
 "Historical Collections," 1847 ; S. P. Hildreth's "Pioneer His- 
 tory," 1848, and "Early Pioneers," 1852; and James W. Taylor's 
 "History of Ohio," 1854. 
 
 The foregoing belong to the early history of Ohio, — to a 
 period considerably before that of the Southern Rebellion. A 
 partial list of historical books of later origin, written by Ohio 
 pens, is the following: "The Blennerhassett Papers," Wm. H. 
 Safford ; "The St. Clair Papers," and "A Political History of 
 the United States," Wm. Henry Smith (1833-1896; ; "The Pub- 
 lic Domain." etc., Thomas C. Donaldson (1843-1898); "History

 James Florant Meline (1813-1873), a Cincinnati author 
 of distinction may be remembered in this connection, on account 
 of his most noted work, a controversial history written from a 
 Catholic point of view and in reply to Froude. The book 
 bears the title: "Mary, Queen of Scots, and her latest English 
 Historian." 
 
 Emilius Oviatt Randall (1850 — ), of Columbus, official 
 Reporter of the Supreme Court of Ohio, educated at Andover, 
 Cornell and the O. S. U„ an "all around" scholar, a professor of 
 law, a member of many learned societies, Secretary of the Cen- 
 tennial Executive Committee, is a clear and accurate writer 
 mainly on topics of western history. He is the author of a 
 "History of Blennerhassett." "History of the Separatist Society 
 of Zoar." and editor of the "Ohio Historical and Archaeological 
 Quarterly." Mr. Randall has edited ten volumes of the publi- 
 cations of the Ohio Historical Society and fifteen volumes of 
 Reports of the decisions of the Supreme Court of Ohio, and he 
 also assisted in editing the "Bench and Bar of Ohio," a substantial 
 work in several volumes. 
 
 Eugene F. Bliss (1836 — ), ex-president of the Ohio His- 
 torical Society, and member of the American Historical Associa- 
 tion, translated and edited the "Diary of David Zeisberger," an 
 important contribution to the history of the Moravians in Ohio. 
 
 Special distinction should be given to the name of Philip 
 Van Ness Myers (1840 — ), late dean of the University of Cin- 
 cinnati, author of "Life and Nature under the Tropics," "Remains 
 pf Lost Empires," "Mediaeval and Modern History," "Eastern 
 Nations and Greece," "History of Rome," "History of Greece," 
 
Ohio Centennial. 599 
 
 etc. Dr. Myers holds rank as an authority among scholars and 
 his admirable works are studied wherever English is spoken. 
 
 There are several historians of national reputation, who, 
 though not now resident in Ohio, were born in the State and may 
 properly be included in this outline. Among these are : Her- 
 bert Howe Bancroft (1832 — ), who, with the aid of collabora- 
 tors, prepared for the press, five volumes on the "Native Races 
 of the Pacific States," and thirty-nine volumes on the "History 
 of the Pacific States"; — James Ford Rhodes (1848 — ), now 
 of Boston, formerly of Cleveland, author of an elaborate "His- 
 tory of the United States from the Compromise of 1850," a work 
 now in the course of publication and to be completed in eight 
 volumes; — and Wm. Milligan Sloane (1850 — ), a native of 
 New Richmond, Ohio, now professor in Columbia University, — • 
 author of "The Life of James McCosh," "The French War and 
 the Revolution," and of a four volume "History of the Life of 
 Napoleon." 
 
 There are in Ohio four principal Historical Societies each 
 of which possesses a library and has published much valuable 
 matter. They are named and located as follows : Firelands His- 
 torical Society, Norwalk; Historical and Philosophical Society 
 of Ohio, Cincinnati; Ohio Archaeological and Historical Society, 
 Columbus; Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland. 
 
 SCIENCE. 
 
 Almost from the time when white settlers began to occupy 
 the lands between Lake Erie and the Ohio River, much attention 
 has been given in that region to geology, archaeology, and the 
 study of what used to be called comprehensively the Natural 
 Sciences. Bright on the record of original investigators whose 
 writings are known in Europe as well as in America, are the 
 names of Dr. Jared Potter Kirtland (1793-1877), of Cuyahoga 
 County, — a naturalist whom Agassiz delighted to honor ; Dr. 
 Charles Whittlesey (1808-1866), also of Cuyahoga, an archae- 
 ologist of high standing; Wm. S. Sullivant (1803-1873), of 
 Columbus, — a botanist and bryologist of international fame ; 
 and John Strong Newberry (1822-1892), of Cleveland, late of 
 
600 Ohio Arch, and His. Society Publications. 
 
 the Columbia School of Mines, one of the foremost masters of 
 geology and paleontology. — These four belong geographically 
 to the northern part of the State. To find their intellectual 
 peers among the earlier scientific men of Ohio, we may look 
 to the vicinity of Cincinnati, which, like Cleveland, Columbus, 
 and other leading cities of the State, produced her quota of 
 savants. Three may be remembered as nobly representative of 
 their class. First of these, in the order of time, was Ormsby 
 MacKnight Mitchell (1809-1862), the astronomer, whose once 
 popular books, "The Planetary System and Stellar Worlds," 
 "The Orbs of Heaven," gave to the written page the glow of 
 eloquence characteristic of the living speech which won for the 
 author the reputation of an orator. When the war broke out, 
 Mitchell put aside the telescope for the sword, and earned the 
 laurels of battle to mingle with the evergreen leaves of scientific 
 renown. 
 
 Daniel Vaughan (1818-1879), a native of Ireland, came to 
 America in his youth and was attracted to Cincinnati by its 
 literary privileges. There he made more use of the public library 
 than perhaps any other man has ever made. His biographer, 
 Air. Youmans of the "Popular Science Monthly," describes him 
 as a master of German, French, Italian and Spanish and of 
 Ancient and Modern Greek, and adds that "He pursued a wide 
 course of scientific inquiry with great vigor and enthusiasm, 
 devoting himself mainly to astronomy and to the larger aspects 
 of natural phenomena, which he treated with the freedom and 
 independence of a strong original thinker." His writings are 
 marked by a daring boldness and a splendor of diction which 
 reveal the workings of a poetic imagination coupled with a logical 
 reason. An idea of his eloquent style may be obtained by read- 
 ing a chapter of his "Popular Physical Astronomy," published 
 in Cincinnati in 1858. The last act of the philosopher's life was 
 Socratic in its calm pathos, — on his death-bed he sat up to 
 correct the proofs of an article he had recently written on "The 
 Origin of Worlds." 
 
 The name of Johann Bernhard Stallo (1823-1900), a man 
 of whom his biographer, H. T. Rattermann, says that "all .the 
 Germans in the United States should be especially proud," may 
 
Ohio Centennial. 60l 
 
 be enrolled alike upon the roster of scientists and philosophers, 
 as upon the list of great lawyers and diplomats. Stallo was a 
 man of extraordinary range of intellectual ability. His home 
 in Cincinnati was a kind of university, his library a rich col- 
 lection of vital books in different languages. As long ago as the 
 year 1848, this speculative thinker, in a young western state, 
 occupied himself in the erudite task of writing a book entitled, 
 "The General Principles of the Philosophy of Nature." More 
 than thirty years later, when his powers were at their best, 
 he produced his master-piece, a bold and critical work on "The 
 Concepts and Theories of Modern Physics." 
 
 One has only to glance over the proceedings of the American 
 Association for the Advancement of Science, to convince himself 
 that Ohio ranks with the most progressive states of the Union, 
 in respect to scientific discovery, investigation, and discussion. 
 Of late years the universities and leading colleges of the State 
 have caught the inquiring spirit of the age, and many specialists 
 in various lines of research have issued articles as contributions 
 to scientific journals or in book form. Besides numerous pub- 
 lications in mathematics and in purely physical science, not a 
 few books on psychology, sociology and allied subjects, have 
 gone forth from the desks of professors who are imbued with 
 modern ideas. 
 
 The mention of Judge Stallo's thesis on the "Philosophy of 
 Nature," recalls the somewhat surprising fact that the Scotch 
 teacher of classics, Alexander Kinmont, who came to Cincinnati 
 in 1827 and there died in 1838, was the author of a volume otf 
 "Lectures on the Natural History of Man," which was published 
 in 1839, anticipating Stallo by ten years. Kinmont's work is 
 still extant, having been reprinted by a leading eastern publisher. 
 It was highly esteemed by Henry James, Sr., who considered 
 Kinmont a remarkable genius born before his time. 
 
 The science of man seems to have been a favorite study 
 with speculative thinkers in Ohio during the decade just pre- 
 ceding the Civil War. Dr. J. R. Buchanan started his "Journal 
 of Man" in 1849, and published his "System of Anthropology" 
 in Cincinnati, in 1854. "The Natural History of Human Tem- 
 peraments," by J. B. Powell, and "The Races of Mankind," by 
 
602 Ohio Arch, and His. Society Publications. 
 
 A. W. Gazlay, both appeared in 1856, from a western press. In 
 the same line of investigation were David Christy's several books, 
 "Lectures on African Colonization," 1849; "Ethiopia," and 
 "Cotton is King," 1856, which last created a great furore. 
 Christy was a resident of Cincinnati, and a noted authority on 
 Chemistry and Geology. 
 
 Under the liberal generalization of things scientific, may be 
 mentioned a book issued in Cincinnati, in 1826, expounding the 
 hypothesis that the "Earth is hollow, is Habitable within, and 
 widely open at the Poles." The book is entitled "Symmes's 
 Theory of Concentric Spheres," and was written by J. McBride. 
 It is one of the curiosities of Ohio literature. 
 
 Another famous work by a more famous Ohio man is the 
 "Modern Art of Taming Wild Horses," published in 1858. Of 
 this book 15,000 copies were sold in France alone in a single 
 year. John S. Rarey, the author (1828-1866), was the most 
 successful "tamer of horses" the world has known. 
 
 Neglecting the restrictions of severe classification, I may de- 
 vote a paragraph to the catologuing of some writers and writings, 
 concerned with the scientific study of the constitution of man 
 and problems of social life. — Washington Gladden (1836 — ), 
 a prominent and influential writer on political, social and reli- 
 gious themes, has been a resident of Columbus, Ohio, since 1882, 
 and he is universally esteemed as one of the commanding intellec- 
 tual forces of the State. He has achieved distinction as a 
 poet and story writer, but his fame rests upon his more severe 
 and argumentative works such as "Social Facts and Forces," 
 "Things Old and New," "The Young Man and the Churches," 
 "Applied Christianity," "Burning Questions," "Tools and the 
 Alan," etc. — Thomas Lee Wright (1825 — ), produced a book 
 of originality and vigor, which he named "Notes on the Theory 
 of Human Existence." — Charles Edward Bolton (1841 — ), 
 of Cleveland, is known to students of economics as the author of 
 the book, "A Few Civic Problems," and of suggestive articles 
 in the "Review of Reviews." — Wayland Richardson Benedict 
 (1848 — ), professor of philosophy, ethics and logic, in the Uni- 
 versity of Cincinnati, a searching thinker of unusual literary 
 ability, has published "The Nervous System and Consciousness," 
 
Ohio Centennial. 603 
 
 "Ethics and Evolution," "Theism and Evolution," a text-book 
 on Logic, and "Outlines from the History of Education." In 
 subtile and analytic power, impressive and convincing argument 
 and a certain luminous felicity of statement and illustration, Dr. 
 Benedict has few peers among those who elucidate psychic and 
 ethical truth, whetner by lecture or on the printed page. 
 
 LAW AND MEDICINE. 
 
 The law literature of Ohio, as is stated in the introduction 
 to this sketch, is very abundant, having steadily accumulated 
 from the comparatively early period in which Judge Timothy 
 Walker wrote his learned work on "The American Law," down 
 to the present year in which was published Ellis's "New Ohio 
 Municipal Code." Every legal practitioner is familiar with the 
 names Scribner and Swan and Bates and Kinkead and Love- 
 land and Rockel and Yaple and Wilson and Page and Whittaker 
 and Matthews, and a score of other Ohio men whose treatises 
 on various phases of the great profession, are to be found in all 
 the law libraries and are text-books in the law schools. 
 
 And what is said of Ohio law-books, — that they are numer- 
 ous and important of their kind, — may be said of the books 
 in medicine. Even in the pioneer period of the science, original 
 books and journals testified to the learning and industry of great 
 physicians in different sections of the commonwealth. Dr. 
 Drake's monumental treatise, "The Diseases of the Interior Valley 
 of North America," to the making of which its author devoted 
 thirty years, was pronounced by Allibone "probably the most 
 important and valuable work ever written in ihe United States." 
 Since Drake's day the progress of pharmacy, surgery and general 
 medicine, has been much advanced by the writings of such men 
 as Blackman, Gross, Mendenhall, Wright, Williams, King, Howe, 
 Scudder, Pulte, Conner, Bartholow, Wormley, Whittaker, and 
 many other doctors, eminent in the healing science and in the 
 great art of surgery. — The State is well supplied with pro- 
 fessional journals and libraries. It is doubtful whether there 
 exists anywhere in the world, another collection of books in 
 botany, pharmacy, chemistry, and allied sciences, that will com- 
 
604 Ohio Arch, and His. Society Publications. 
 
 pare in extent and value, with the famous Lloyd Library of 
 Cincinnati. This unique collection gathered at great expense 
 of time and money, by the brothers, John Uri and Curtis Gates 
 Lloyd, "is incorporated, is free to the public, and is pledged to 
 be donated intact to science." 
 
 THEOLOGY AND DENOMINATIONALISM. 
 
 The theological and sectarian literature of Ohio is extensive 
 and diverse. All shades of belief are represented, Jewish and 
 Christian, Catholic and Protestant, — orthodox and agnostic. 
 There are in the State some famous theological seminaries, in- 
 cluding Lane Seminary, the Oberlin Theological School, the 
 Hebrew Union College and the old Jesuit stronghold, St. 
 Xavier's, and from these several seats of biblical learning as well 
 as from the more secluded studios of representative clergymen of 
 different creeds, have gone forth numerous volumes of doctrine, 
 controversy and exposition, and church history. In the Library 
 of the "Ohio Church History Society," of Oberlin, the number 
 of publications does not fall far short of 400, nearly all per- 
 taining to a single denomination, the Congregational. Only 
 a very few books of the class indicated can be here specified, and 
 it seems invidious to select. The titles which follow were chosen 
 almost at random, and will suggest to the reader many more of 
 cq„... importance. — Rev. Frederick Augustus Kemper published 
 in Cincinnati, in 1831, a meditative and devotional book, "Conso- 
 lations for the Afflicted," which breathes a pure and gentle spirit 
 and shows the culture of a college bred gentleman. — Rev. David 
 Austin Randall (1813-1884), was the author of two books, "The 
 Wonderful Tent of the Mosaic Tabernacle," and "God's Hand- 
 writing in Egypt, Syria and the Holy Land," which latter had 
 an enormous sale, fully 100,000 copies being called for. — Rev. 
 Wm. Burnet Wright (1838 — ), a distinguished preacher, holds 
 a secure place in literature, by virtue of his two notable works, 
 "Ancient Cities from the Dawn to the Daylight," and "The Ser- 
 mon on the Mountain, Practiced on the Plain." — All who are 
 interested in the so-called "Higher Criticism" in modern thought, 
 have heard of the Rev. Henry Preserved Smith (1847 — ). late 
 
Ohio Centennial. 605 
 
 professor in Lane Seminary, now of Princeton, and thousands have 
 read his books, "Inspiration and Inerrancy," and "The Bible 
 and Islam." — Isaac M. Wise, the most eminent Rabbi in Amer- 
 ica, founder of the Hebrew Union College and of Liberal Juda- 
 ism, was the author of many learned works, and the editor of the 
 "American Israelite." Dr. Wise was a truly great man, pro- 
 foundly respected by both Jews and Christians, and his influence 
 did much to advance learning and literature. His "Life and 
 Writings," by Drs. Philipson and Grossman, was published some 
 years ago. His principal theological work is entitled, "Pronaos 
 to Holy Scripture." — Dr. Moses Milziner (1828- 1893), who 
 ranks with the leading Semitic scholars of the world, is the 
 author of an "Introduction to the Talmud." — Dr. Jired Dewey 
 Buck (1838 — ), president of the Theosophic Society of America, 
 author of "A Study of Man and the Way to Health," "Mystic 
 Masonry," etc., also wrote "The Nature and Aims of Theosophy," 
 and "Why I Am a Theosophist," books which have circulation 
 in England as well as in America. — John Porter Brown (1814- 
 1872), a native of Chillicothe, was U. S. Minister to Turkey and 
 a thorough student of Eastern languages and customs, and 
 wrote a scholarly book, "The Dervishes of Oriental Spiritualism." 
 — Hudson Turtle (1836 — ), of Berlin Heights, Ohio, exponent 
 of spiritualism, has a large clientage of readers of his occult 
 books, "The Arcana of Nature," "Studies in Psychic Science," 
 "What is Spiritualism," etc. — Persons curious to study uncom- 
 mon phases of religious faith and worship, may be interested in 
 the fact that in Lebanon, Ohio, was published, in 1808, the rare 
 book known as "The Shaker Bible;" and that, in Kirtland, Ohio, 
 was issued in 1837, the second edition of the "Book of Mormon," 
 a scripture which has since been translated into Italian by an 
 Ohio man, Lorenzo Snow, president of the Mormon Church. 
 
 I can only allude to the amount and variety of denomina- 
 tional literature, — religious books and newspapers, uttered in 
 the State. Several sects, the Methodists, for instance, and the 
 United Brethren, have extensive publishing houses. The clergy- 
 men of Ohio, generally speaking, are promoters of literature, 
 and many of them are accomplished writers. 
 
606 Ohio Arch, and His. Society Publications. 
 
 The conflict of opinions on religious subjects, in the Ohio 
 Valley, has given rise to some public discussions of great interest, 
 reports of which were published. One secular debate on the use 
 of the Bible in the Public School was circulated in book form, 
 viz., "The Battle of the Giants." See also "Debate on Evidences 
 of Christianity," R. \Y. Owen and A. Campbell, 1829; "Debate 
 on the Roman Catholic Religion," A. Campbell and J. B. Purcell; 
 "Debate on Universal Salvation," E. M. Pingree and N. L. Rice; 
 "Roman Catholic Church and Free Thought," J. B. Purcell and 
 Thos. Vickers. 
 
 MISCELLANEOUS. 
 
 Allied to the literature of creed and opinion, though not 
 always sectarian, are numerous books of a more or less didactic 
 nature, designed to instruct or to admonish in regard to the con- 
 duct of life. To this department of useful reading belong many 
 juveniles, school text-books, and volumes of sermons, lectures, 
 and essays for readers of all ages. A goodly array could be 
 shown, of names of Ohio men and women, who, in this field of 
 authorship, have labored successfully. 
 
 The late Professor David Swing (1830-1894), exerted a 
 strong and salutory influence, not only by his pulpit utterances, 
 but through his books, "Truths for To-day," "The Motives of 
 Life," and "Club Essays." — Rev. Louis Albert Banks (1855 — ), 
 Cleveland, Ohio, is a prolific author of books mainly moral and 
 religious, for young and old. Some of his later publications are: 
 "Twentieth Century Knighthood," "Poetry and Morals," "Hid- 
 den Wells of Comfort." — Mrs. Lydia Hoyt Farmer, of Cleve- 
 land, is known to a host of grateful admirers, through her "Boys' 
 Book of Famous Rulers," "Girls' Book of Famous Queens," 
 "Life of Lafayette," "A Moral Inheritance," "What America 
 Owes to Women," etc. 
 
 Mrs. Sarah Knowles Bolton (1841 — ), another Cleveland 
 woman of recognized literary prominence, in both prose and 
 verse, is especially noted for the excellence, in style and in sub- 
 stance, of her twenty or more entertaining books for youth. 
 Some of the titles are: "Boys Who Became Famous," "Girls 
 
Ohio Centennial. 607 
 
 Who Became Famous," "Famous American Authors," "How 
 Success Is Won." 
 
 Charles Franklin Thwing (1853 — ), president of Western 
 Reserve University, is an author whose contributions to high 
 class magazine literature and whose published volumes, mainly 
 on educational themes, deserve and receive strong commendation 
 from exacting critics. Of the numerous books written in the 
 United States, on cultural processes and ideal conduct, there are 
 few, if any, that are equalled by those from the pen of Dr. 
 Thwing. Some of the titles are: "American Colleges: Their 
 Students and Work," "The Reading of Books," "Within College 
 Walls," "The College Woman," "The Best Life," "The Youth's 
 Dream of Life," and "God in His World." 
 
 Addison Peale Russell ( 1826 — ) was born in Clinton County 
 and his conduct and ideals have been shaped almost wholly by 
 Ohio influences and associations. Mr. Howells alludes to him as 
 the author "whose charming books of literary comment have so 
 widely endeared him to book-lovers ; but whose public services 
 to his state are scarcely known outside of it among the readers 
 of 'Library Notes' or of 'A Club of One' " Mr. Russell was in 
 public life from 1855 to 1868, as legislator, Secretary of State, 
 and Financial Agent for Ohio. During the term of the last 
 named office, he resided in New York City, where in 1867, he 
 published his first book "Half Tints." For the last thirty years 
 or more, he has devoted himself entirely to literature, in undis- 
 turbed retirement in the quiet town of Wilmington. He leads 
 the contented life of a philosopher whose books are his world 
 and whose mind "his kingdom is." In powers of assimilation he 
 has been likened to Bayle, who had "the art of writing down his 
 curious quotations with his own subtile ideas." Every library in 
 Ohio should certainly contain his books, "Library Notes," "A 
 Club of One," "In a Club Corner," "Characteristics," "Sub Coe- 
 lum," and "Thomas Corwin." 
 
 Mrs. May Alden Ward (1853 — ), a descendant of John 
 Alden, the Plymouth Pilgrim, was born in Ohio. She now lives 
 in Boston, and is one of the most accomplished of American 
 critical writers. Her books, "Old Colony Days," "Life of Dante," 
 "Life of Petrarch," are clear, succint, scholarly and sympathetic.

 Latest and best of her writings is the little volume entitled'Troph- 
 ets of the Nineteenth Century," being essays on Carlyle, Ruskin 
 and Tolstoi. 
 
 To the academic literature of the State belong the books. 
 "Refercences for Literary Workers," and "Knowledge and Cul- 
 ture," by Rev. Henry Matson (1829 — ), of Oberlin ; "The De- 
 velopment of the English Literature and Language," and "Eng- 
 lish Literature of the Eighteenth Century," by Alfred Hix Welsh 
 (1850-1889); "A History of the Novel Previous to the Seven- 
 teenth Century," by Frederick Morris Warren (1859 — )> °f 
 Adelbert College; "Master Virgil, as He Seemed in the Middle 
 Ages," by J. S. Tunison ; "Modern Poet Prophets; Essays Criti- 
 cal and Interpretative," by William Norman Guthrie; and "Ten- 
 nyson's Debt to Environment," "The Poetry of Robert Brown- 
 ing," and "Studies in Literature," by Prof. Wm. G. Ward (1848 
 — ), now of Boston, but born and brought up in Ohio. 
 
 David Philipson (1862 — ), Rabbi of the Congregation B'nai 
 Israel, Cincinnati, has contributed to critical literature a work 
 entitled "The Jew in English Fiction." This clear, and forceful 
 writer is the author of "Old European Jewries," and "A Holiday 
 Sheaf," the latter a volume of sermons. 
 
 That most stimulating of all provocatives to literary com- 
 mentary and controversy, the Shakesperean drama, has furnished 
 a theme for more than one Ohio publication. Whatever may be 
 thought of the merits of the Shakespeare-Bacon discussion, the 
 bibliographer notes with some surprise that the first gun in that 
 strange battle was fired by a young woman of Tallmadge, in the 
 County of Summit, — Miss Delia Salter Bacon (1811-1859), 
 whose famous book, "Philosophy of the Plays of Shakespeare, 
 Unfolded," with preface by Nathaniel Hawthorne, was published 
 in London, 1857, it being the author's zealous purpose "to solve 
 the enigma of those mighty dramas" which the audacious critic 
 devoutly admired though she endeavored to prove they could not 
 have been written by "that booby," Wm. Shakespeare. Carlyle, 
 to whom she came with a letter of introduction from Emerson, 
 laughed at her theory, which, nevertheless, has found many ad- 
 vocates. One of the latest books on the mooted question, is a 
 
Ohio Centennial. 609 
 
 Cincinnati publication and bears the title "The Shakesperean 
 Myth." 
 
 ■ More important than the "Cryptogram" literature, are the 
 scholarly speculative works of Denton Jaques Snider (1841 — ), 
 an author who was born and raised in Ohio and who now lives 
 in St. Louis. His critical writings on Shakespeare are regarded 
 by so competent a judge as Dr. Wm. T. Harris, as of especial 
 value in revealing the ethical significance of the immortal dramas. 
 Dr. Snider, a graduate of Oberlin College and one of the lectur- 
 ers of the Concord School of Philosophy, devotes himself ex- 
 clusively to authorship and to the elucidation of his somewhat 
 transcendental doctrines, from the platform. He is a man of 
 profound erudition and of very bold speculative views. Besides 
 his nine volumes of "Commentary on the Literary Bibles," viz., 
 Shakespeare, Goethe, Homer and Dante, he has published five 
 volumes of poems, three volumes on psychology, three on Froe- 
 bel and the Kindergarten, and several miscellaneous books, includ- 
 ing one novel. His latest publications are : "The Father of 
 History," "Ancient European Philosophy," and a political treatise 
 entitled "The State." 
 
 In concluding these rambling notes relating mainly to dram- 
 atic criticism by Ohio writers, I would mention that Henry Hoop- 
 er of Hamilton County, who has written luminously on the phil- 
 osophy of Shopenhauer, is also the author of various scholarly 
 articles published in "Shakesperiana." 
 
 James E. Murdock, the celebrated actor whose home was in 
 Warren County, wrote "A Short Study of Hamlet," "A Short 
 Study of Macbeth," and other critical pieces ; and his volume en- 
 titled "The Stage," published in 1884, is replete with suggestive 
 comments on the dramatic art. One chapter discusses the topic 
 "Shakespeare and his Critics." 
 
 FICTION. 
 
 In the days long ago, when James G. Percival was consid- 
 ered the chief of American poets, and when the old "Knicker- 
 bocker Magazine," and the "Port Folio," were arbiters of liter- 
 ary destiny, there dwelt within the borders of Ohio at least two 
 
610 Ohio Arch, and His. Society Publications. 
 
 men of national reputation, who essayed to write novels. These 
 p ; oneers of the imaginative pen were Timothy Flint (1780-1840), 
 and James Hall (1793-1868). 
 
 Of Flint's masterpiece, "Francis Berrian, or the Mexican 
 Patriot," 1826, Mrs. Trollope, who was a neighbor to the author, 
 in Cincinnati, says in her "American Manners," "It is excellent: 
 a little wild and romantic, but containing scenes of first rate in- 
 terest and pathos." — Other of Flint's novels were "Arthur Clen- 
 ning," and "George Mason, the Backwoodsman." One who had 
 read Flint's "Recollections" would expect to find charm in his 
 works of fiction. A reviewer of his "Geography and History of 
 the Mississippi Valley," declared those books "too interesting to 
 be useful!" — Many readers found as good as fiction in Flint's 
 delightful pseudo-biography, "The First White Man of the West, 
 or the Life and Exploits of Colonel Daniel Boone." Though 
 somewhat prolix and too much given to moralizing, Timothy 
 Flint is characteristically delightful and two or three of his books 
 are of such permanent interest and charm of style that they should 
 be reprinted. 
 
 Judge James Hall, the author of an elaborate "History of 
 the Indian Tribes," and other noted books in biography and his- 
 tory, wrote several historical romances, modeled somewhat after 
 ihe style of Cooper, and valuable on account of their fidelity to 
 life and scenery in the early west particularly in Kentucky. His 
 best works are "Legends of the West," "Harpe's Head," and 
 "Tales of the Border." 
 
 "The Western Souvenir," first of the so-called Annuals is- 
 sued west of Philadelphia, was published in Cincinnati, in 1829. 
 Tt was "embellished" with six steel engravings, and was made up 
 of stories, sketches and poems, by James Hall, Timothy Flint, 
 ( )tway Curry, and others. Perhaps the most interesting contri- 
 bution in it is a character sketch of "Mike Fink, the Last of the 
 Boatmen," by Morgan Neville. 
 
 A volume of original pieces collectively called "Tales of the 
 Queen City,' by Benjamin Drake, brother of Dr. Daniel Drake, 
 was published in Cincinnati, in 1839. The merit of this book is 
 that it attempts to delineate local scenes and characters with 
 simplicity. But the "Tales" are not nearly so readable as the 
 
Ohio Centennial. (ill 
 
 author's other ventures, "The Life of Tecumseh," and the "Life 
 of Black Hawk," which are romantic in their essence. 
 
 The first woman to gain literary reputation in Ohio was Mrs. 
 Julia L. Dumont (1794-1841), preceptress of Edward Eggleston, 
 the author of "The Hoosier Schoolmaster." Mrs. Dumont wrote 
 respectable verse and good honest prose. Her stories had vogue 
 in the Ohio Valley and some of them found publishers in the 
 East. She wrote "The Brothers," "Gertrude Beverly," "Ashton 
 Gray," "Sketches from Common Paths". — Of livelier imagina- 
 tion and brighter touch than Mrs. Dumont, was Mrs. Caroline 
 Lee Hentz (1800-1854), a popular writer who, for several years 
 was a resident of Ohio. Some of her numerous novels are of a 
 mildly sensational character, which perhaps accounts for the faci 
 that nearly 100,000 copies of them were sold within three years. 
 She is the author of several tragedies, one of which, "Lamorah, 
 or the Western Wild," was written and acted in Cincinnati. — Mrs. 
 Francis D. Gage (1808-1884), born and bred in Ohio, was a prac- 
 tical writer, of strong common sense and much energy, who, like 
 Mrs. Dumont, Mrs. Hentz, Mrs. Stowe, Alice Cary and other 
 talented women of her day, helped to create a love for literature 
 in the West. Her best story is one entitled "Elsie Magoon." 
 Early in the sixties she published a volume of poems. Mrs. 
 Gage was a descendant of Anne Braclstreet, "The Tenth Muse." 
 who wrote the first book of verse published in New England. 
 
 The relations of the Beecher Family to the educational and 
 literarv development of Ohio were intimate and vital. From 
 1832 to 1850, Dr. Lyman Beecher, as president of Lane Seminary 
 and pastor of a prominent church, was a commanding character. 
 He and his energetic sons and daughters received much from the 
 rapidly developing society by which they were surrounded, to 
 which they gave much in return. Henry Ward Beecher studied 
 theology and learned to preach in Cincinnati ; there Catharine 
 Beecher organized and conducted a decidedly .radical and progres- 
 sive school for girls, and wrote some "up to date" text-books. 
 The writing tendency was strong in several members of the bril 
 liaent familv. — The famous novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin," though 
 not actually written in Cincinnati, was conceived there. The 
 
612 Ohio Arch, and His. Society Publications. 
 
 author tells us in her Autobiography that many of the characters, 
 scenes and incidents, in the story, were suggested by what she 
 had observed in her own house, on Walnut Hills, or witnessed 
 on occasional trips to Kentucky. Mrs. Stowe lived in Cincinnati 
 for eighteen years, — the most vigorous and formative portion of 
 her life. She wrote for a Western magazine. She was an active 
 n-.ember of the Semi-Colon Club, of the Queen City, and to that 
 society she dedicated her first book, "The May Flower," 1849. 
 It is reasonable to claim that Ohio was the literary Alma Mater 
 of the author of one of the world's most potent works or fiction. 
 President Lincoln, when he first met Mrs. Stowe, said in his epi- 
 grammatic way : "So here is the little woman who caused the 
 big war !" 
 
 Alice Cary (1820-1871), published her first book of stories, 
 "Clovernook,'' in 185 1, and her first regular novel, "Hagar: a 
 Story of To-day," in 1852, the year in which "Uncle Tom's Cab- 
 in" appeared. Other of Alice Cary's novels were "Married, Not 
 Mated," "Holywood," and "The Bishop's Son." Of this Ohio 
 writer the Westminster Review declared, "No .other American 
 woman has evinced in prose or poetry anything like the genius 
 of Alice Cary." 
 
 Belonging to the same period as do the group of woman 
 authors just spoken of, are several literary men who wrote or 
 published novels, in Ofijo. Thomas H. Shreve (1808-1853), a 
 friend and associate of Mr. Gallagher, produced many short 
 stories and one ambitious romance, "Drayton : an American Tale," 
 1851. — Frederick W. Thomas (1811 — ), of Cincinnati, wrote 
 "Clinton Bradshaw," "East and West," and "Howard Pinkney," 
 — successful novels in their time and of better artistic quality 
 than much that passes current to-day as good literature. — The 
 same may be said in commendation of the two novels which Ed- 
 mund Flagg (1815 — ), composed while a resident of Marietta 
 in 1842-3, — viz. : "Carrero ; or the Prime Minister," and "Fran- 
 cis of Valois." These compare very favorably with the histori- 
 cal novels of more recent origin. — Wm. W. Fosdick (1825 — ), 
 a poet of no mean ability, attempted fiction with some success, 
 producing a romantic novel, "Malmiztic, the Toltec and the Cav- 
 
Ohio Centennial. 613 
 
 aliers of the Cross," a study of Mexican traditions, and said to 
 have furnished the prototype of Wallace's "The Fair God." 
 
 The decade from about 1846 to 1856 was prolific of sensa- 
 tional stories such as have been denominated in slang phrase, 
 "yellow-backs," "dime novels," "blood and thunder tales," etc. 
 Two of the most conspicuous and most entertaining spinners of 
 this class of yarn made their appearance in Ohio, in the forties. 
 These were E. C. Judson, "Ned Buntline," (1823-1886), and 
 Emerson Bennett. 
 
 Judson came to Cincinnati in 1844 and embarked, with L. 
 A. Hine, in the conduct of "The Western Literary Journal and 
 Monthly Magazine," to which he contributed letters and editor- 
 ials. He did not write any novel during the time he was in the 
 West. He was greatly admired by the patrons of flashy litera- 
 ture. Of his lurid master-piece, "The Mysteries and Miseries of 
 New York," 100,000 copies sold. "Ned Buntline's" income was 
 said to be $120,000 'a year. 
 
 Emerson Bennett (1822 — ), now living in Philadelphia and 
 an octogenarian, came to Cincinnati when he was only twenty- 
 two years old, and in that city, between the years 1846 and 1850, 
 wrote and published an incredible number of lively romances, 
 which were eagerly sought and greedily read by the multitude. 
 A recent sketch of Bennett, printed in a biographical handbook, 
 says, "He began writing poetry and prose at 18 ; has since fol- 
 lowed literature and written more than fifty novels and serials, 
 and some hundreds of short stories." At the very beginning of 
 his career he caught the knack of constructing the "best sellers," 
 and made money for himself and his publishers. His most popu 
 lar books were "The Prairie Flower," and "Leni-Leoti," each of 
 which had a sale of 100,000, having been, I believe, more in de- 
 mand than any other novel ever published in the State, whatever 
 that may signify. Hundreds of elderly men and women in the 
 Ohio Valley, will confess, with a smile and a sigh, that in their 
 school days they concealed in pocket or desk "The Bandits of the 
 Osage," or "Mike Fink," or "Kate Clarendon," or "The League 
 of the Miami," or "The Forest Rose." After all is said, these 
 exciting romances were innocent enough, — the hero always tri-

 umphant, the heroine an angel. The sharp crack of a rifle rang 
 out and the villain fell with a thud. 
 
 In a way, "Xed Buntline" and Emerson Bennett were mast- 
 ers of their craft. They had a host of imitators. — George Lip- 
 pard's "Xew York : Its Upper Ten and Lower Million," though 
 not written in the West was published in Cincinnati, in 1854. 
 So also was "The Trapper's Bride," by the English author C. M. 
 Murray. In the same city, in 1855, was issued a feeble perform- 
 ance entitled "The Mock Marriage: or the Libertine's Victim: 
 being a faithful delineation of the Mysteries and Miseries of the 
 Queen City," by H. M. Rulison. 
 
 Less extravagant than the foregoing and less naughty than 
 they affected to be, but scarcely more meritorius, were "Mrs. Ben 
 Darby: or the 'Weal and Woe of Social Life," 1853, by Maria 
 Collins; "Life's Lesson, a Novel," 1855, by Martha Thomas; "The 
 Old Corner Cupboard," 1856, Susan B. Jewett ; "Emma Bartlett : 
 or Prejudice and Fanaticism," 1856; "Zoe: or the Quadroon's 
 Triumph," 1856, Mrs. E. D. Livermore ; "Mabel: or Heart His- 
 tories," 1859, Rosetta Rice, — all which are Ohio books. 
 
 During the period of the Civil War (1861-5) few novels 
 were written in the United States, though the events of that 
 stirring time educated authors and supplied material for whole 
 libraries of history, fiction and poetry. In fact the war did much 
 to elevate and nationalize American literature. The old distinc- 
 tions between eastern literature and western were no longer much 
 regarded. Even the southern writers ceased to be sectional. 
 Secession ended in concession. Provincialism began to give way 
 to a higher and broader and more tolerant culture, and books of 
 artistic finish came from the South and from the West, to compete 
 with the best from Massachusetts or New York. Tennessee was 
 represented by Miss Murf ree ; Kentucky by James Lane Allen; 
 Indiana by Riley ; and Ohio by Mrs. Catherwood ; writers who 
 were in their early teens when the war began, and who were 
 among the first of a rapidly increasing number of painstaking 
 writers developed by the influences of a modern regime. The 
 same influences, of course, modified the ideas and methods of 
 the earlier generation of writers to which belong Wallace and 
 
Ohio Centennial. 615 
 
 Howells and Tourgee and many more. A few names may here 
 be chronicled of Ohio authors born before 1850. 
 
 Albert Gallatin Riddle (1816 — ), whose distinguished career 
 as lawyer and legislator furnishes a brilliant page in Ohio's his- 
 tory, found time, after he had reached middle life, to record, in a 
 series of clever novels, much that he observed of men and events 
 in northern Ohio, in the days of his youth. He tells the reader 
 in the preface to one of his books that in his stories "an effort 
 is made to preserve something of the freshness, gather up a few 
 of the names, some of the incidents, catch the spirit and flavor 
 of the life which has past, leaving only its memory in the cher- 
 ishing hearts of the contemporaries of the author." In the author 
 of "Bart Ridgely," "The Portrait," "House of Ross," and "An- 
 selm's Cave," Cuyahoga County and the Western Reserve in gen- 
 eral have a faithful delineator of scenes and characters. His 
 style is simple, vigorous and picturesque, — his story is true to 
 fact and is free from sensationalism. Mr. Riddle is a man of 
 solid attainments and sound judgment. His historical romances 
 supplement his more serious works : "Life and Character of 
 Garfield," "Life of Benjamin F Wade," and "Recollections of 
 War Times." 
 
 William Dean Howells (1837 — ), who, perhaps, may be 
 regarded as the leading man of letters in the United States, be- 
 longs, in a sense, to the old and to the new, to the West and to 
 the East, to the self-schooled and to the academic class of Ameri- 
 can authors. Born and bred in Ohio, he spent, as boy and man, 
 nearly a quarter of a century in the state for which he has ever 
 cherished a loyal and filial affection. His name appears upon the 
 title page of some sixty different volumes, embracing works of 
 biography, history, travel, description, sociology, fiction, poetry, 
 drama, and criticism. This prolific and versatile author possesses 
 a rare facultv of remembering all he has experienced, and he 
 enters into delicate sympathy with the young as with the mature. 
 His "Life of Hayes," "A Boy's Town," "Ohio Stories," "My 
 Year in a Log Cabin," derive their subject matter from his knowl- 
 edge of his native state, while in many of his novels, notably in 
 "The Kentons," much of the local color and characterization were 
 obviously suggested by scenes and people observed in the Buck- 
 
616 Ohio Arch, and His. Society Publications. 
 
 eye State. The style of Mr. Howells is invariably elegant and 
 pleasing; he has mastered the art of clear and graceful writing. 
 His work in poetry, in criticism, and in picturesque description, 
 commands admiration in both hemispheres. But his special genius- 
 is discovered in the department of fiction, and few will dispute 
 the verdict of an eminent critic who says, "Mr. Howells was un- 
 questionably the founder of the latter-day natural school of Am- 
 ermican fiction, in which truth to every-day life is given preced- 
 ence, while rhetoric, forced situations, and the arts of the melo- 
 dramatist are sedulously avoided." 
 
 Mr. Howells is author of the following: "Poems of Two 
 Friends" (with Mr. Piatt) ; "Life of Abraham Lincoln"; "Ven- 
 itian Life"; "Italian Journeys"; "Suburban Sketches"/; "No Love 
 Lost"; "Their Wedding Journey"; "A Chance Acquaintance"; 
 "A Foregone Conclusion" ; "Out of the Question" ; "Life of 
 Rutherford B. Hayes" ; "A Counterfeit Presentiment" ; "The 
 Lady of Aroostook"; "The Undiscovered Country"; "A Fearful 
 Responsibility, and Other Tales" ; "Dr. Breen's Practice" ; "A 
 Modern Instance"; "A Woman's Reason"; "Three Villages"; 
 "The Rise of Silas Lapham"; "Tuscan Cities"; "A Little Girl 
 among the Old Masters" ; "The Minister's Charge" ; "Indian 
 Summer"; "Modern Italian Poets"; "April Hopes"; "Annie Kil- 
 burn" ; "A Hazard of New Fortunes" ; "The Sleeping Car, and 
 Other Farces"; "The Mouse Trap, and Other Farces"; "The 
 Shadow of a Dream" ; "An Imperative Duty" ; "A Boy's Town" ; 
 "The Albany Depot"; Criticism and Fiction"; "The Quality of 
 Mercy" ; "The Letter of Introduction" ; "A Little Swiss Sojourn" ; 
 "Christmas Every Day" ; "The Unexpected Guests" ; "The World 
 of Chance" ; "The Coast of Bohemia" ; "A Traveler from Alt- 
 ruria" ; "My Literary Passions" ; "The Day of Their Wedding" 
 "A Parting and a Meeting" "Impressions and Experiences" 
 "Stops of Various Quills" ;' "The Landlord of the Lion's Head" 
 "An Open-Eyed Conspiracy" ; "Stories of Ohio" ; "The Story of 
 a Play" ; "Ragged Lady" ; "Their Silver Wedding Journey" ; 
 "Literary Friends and Acquaintances". 
 
 Deservedly conspicuous among American authors, stands the 
 jurist and diplomat, Albion Winegar Tourgee (1838 — ), now U. 
 S. Consul in Bordeaux, — an Ohio man thoroughly loyal to his 
 
Ohio Centennial. 617 
 
 State as to his Nation. His reputation is well established in the 
 minds of the thousands who have read his purposeful and effec- 
 tive novels: "A Fool's Errand"; "A Royal Gentleman"; "Figs 
 and Thistles" ; "Bricks Without Straw" ; "Hot Plowshares" ; 
 "Black Ice"; "Button's Inn"; "With Guage and Swallow"; "Pac- 
 tolus Prime"; "Murvale Eastman''; "John Eax" ; "The Hip-Roof 
 House"; "A Son of Old Harry"; "Out of the Sunset Sea", and 
 "The Man Who Outlived Himself". 
 
 -Ambrose Bierce (1842 — ), one of the many sons of Ohio 
 who have found scope in California for the exercise of their tal- 
 ents, is the author of "Fantastic Fables", "The Monk and the 
 Hangman's Daughter," "Can Such Things Be?" and other books. 
 
 Charles Humphrey Roberts (1847 — ), born near Mt. Pleas- 
 ant, Ohio, has written an interesting historical study, "Down the 
 O-h-i-o, a Novel of Quaker Life," in which the operation of the 
 Underground Railroad is well pictured. 
 
 Maj. Hugh Boyle Ewing (1826 — ), of Lancaster, O., late 
 U. S. Minister to the Hague, is the author of two clever books: 
 "A Castle in the Air" and "The Black List." 
 
 Gen. John Beatty (1828 — ), of Columbus, is known to many 
 readers of his patriotic volumes, "The Citizen Soldier," "Belle o' 
 Becket's Lane," and his prehistoric novel, "The Acolhuans." 
 
 Alexander Clarke (1834-1879) will be remembered in Ohio 
 by his once popular and noteworthy books, "The Old Log School 
 House" and "Starting Out: a Story of the Ohio Hills." These 
 stories have local flavor. 
 
 Mrs. Metta Victoria Victor (1831 — ), wife of O. J. Victor 
 the literator, has written a good many volumes in verse and in 
 prose. Among her novels are, "The Gold Hunters,' "The Back- 
 woods Bride," "Blunders of a Bashful Man," etc. 
 
 Mrs. Julia P Ballard's (1828-1849) name is cherished on 
 account of the pure, sweet stories she wrote for children: "The 
 Hole in the Bag," "Gathered Lilies," "Lift a Little," "Little 
 Gold Keys," etc. 
 
 Martha Finlev (1828), a native of Chillicothe, Ohio, known 
 to hosts of young people under her nom de plume "Martha Far- 
 quharson," perhaps the most popular living writer of Sunday 
 
618 Ohio Arch, and His. Society Publications. 
 
 School books, is the author of the series called the "Elsie Books,'' 
 and the "Mildred Books." Her present home is in Maryland. 
 
 Sarah Chauncey Woolsey, "Susan Coolidge," (1845 — )> 
 Cleveland, is a popular and meritorious writer, chiefly for the 
 young. Among her most attractive stories are those entitled, 
 "What Katy Did," "In the High Valley,' and "A (lurnsey Lily." 
 This author holds good rank as a poet. 
 
 Ralph Keeler (1840-1873), an Ohio journalist who removed 
 to California, where he died, will be remembered as the author of 
 "Gloverson and His Silent Partner," and "Vagabond Adven- 
 tures." 
 
 Mrs. Margaret Holmes Bates (1844 — ), a native of Fre- 
 mont, Ohio, whose writings are praised by Stedman and other 
 Eastern critics, has contributed to literature, "Jasper Fairfax," 
 "The Prince of the Ring," "Shylock's Daughter," "The Chamber 
 Over the Gate," etc. Her present home is in New York. 
 
 Mark Sibley Severence (1846 — ), formerly of Cleveland, 
 now of Los Angeles, wrote "Hammersmith; His Harvard Days," 
 a pleasant story on the "Tom Brown at Oxford" method, giving 
 pictures of student life as it was in Cambridge, just before the 
 Civil War. 
 
 Mary Alpin Sprague (1849 — )» of Newark, Ohio,' demon- 
 strated her ability to create a bright, piquant, cpigrammic and 
 witty novel, when she produced her only published work, "An 
 Earnest Trifler," 1880. 
 
 Mrs. Mary Hartwell Catherwood (1847-1902), who was 
 born and educated in Ohio and whose literary work is of a very 
 high order, entitling her to a permanent place among American 
 authors, was an indefatigable student of the history of the French 
 settlements in Canada and the United States, an admirable delin- 
 eator of character, an artist of delicate taste and lively fancy. 
 Her novels are excellent. I give the chief titles: "Craque-o- 
 Doom," "Old Caravan Days," "The Secret of Roseladies," "The 
 Romance of Dollard," "The Bells of Ste. Anne," "The Story of 
 Tonty," "The Lady of Fort St. John," "Old Kaskaskia," "The 
 White Islander," "The Chase of St. Castin," "Lazarre." 
 
 Of authors born since the Civil War, or not longer ago than 
 1850, many have risen into prominence, in the Middle West.

 The sudden blossoming of literature in the State of Indiana has 
 been the subject of much press comment. There has been a 
 noticeable revival of authorship in Ohio. Let me catalogue, in 
 the briefest manner, the names and books of half a dozen writers 
 of good reputation who belong to the Buckeye Commonwealth 
 by birth and breeding, but who have wandered to other states: 
 
 George Henry Pickard (1850 — ), is the author of "A Mat- 
 ter of Taste," "A Mission Flower," "Old Boniface," and "Madam 
 Xoel. — "James Eugene Farmer (1867 — ) the scholarly author of 
 "Essays in French History," wrote also "The Grenadier," and 
 "The Grand Mademoiselle." — John Randolph Spears (1850 — ), 
 whose superior work has been commended in England and France 
 as well as at home, and whose sea stories are among the best 
 of their class, is author of "The Port of Missing Ship," "Skipper 
 of the Nancy C," "Tales of the Real Gipsy." Claude Hazelton 
 Wetmore (1862 — ), born at Cuyahoga Falls, recently won repu- 
 tation from the signal success of his novel, "The Sweepers of 
 the Sea." 
 
 The present decade has witnessed, in Ohio, the rise of a 
 score of romance writers, several of whom attained sudden celeb- 
 rity. The work of these recent candidates for public favor or for 
 the approval of the judicious critic, is of widely varying quality, 
 good, bad or indifferent, though I have no hesitation in saying 
 that the average Ohio novel is quite up to the conventional stand- 
 ard, and, in a few cases, it is of exceptional force and originality. 
 The prevailing tendency of the writers to whom I refer, is toward 
 a faithful realism, the result of close and conscientious study of 
 nature and human society. 
 
 Adele E. Thompson, of Cleveland, has earned a deserved' and 
 generous recognition from reviewers and readers, owing to mark- 
 edly praiseworthy qualities in her brace of bright novels : "Beck's 
 Fortune," and "Brave Heart Elizabeth." 
 
 John Bennett (1865 — ), of Chillicothe, artist and poet, as 
 well as story-writer, author of that dainty classic "Master Sky- 
 lark," and of the no less delicately wrought story of "Barnaby 
 Lee," enjoys a reputation extending over the United States, and 
 wears some laurels from abroad. 
 
 Burton Egbert Stevenson (1872—), also of Chillicothe, edi-

 tor and magazine writer, has demonstrated his ability to construct 
 sustained historical romances which appeal to a large circle of 
 admiring readers. His novels, "At Odds With the Regent," and 
 "A Soldier of Virginia," are well worth reading, for both sub- 
 stance and style. 
 
 Dr. James Ball Naylor's rather hastily prepared novels, "In 
 the Days of St. Clair' and "The Sign of the Prophet," deal with 
 stirring events in Ohio history, and are lively and entertaining. 
 The same author's "Ralph Marlowe," a rough and ready novel, 
 the scene of which is laid in an oil village on the Muskingum, 
 is an amusing record of jokes, stories and humorous incidents, 
 written with enthusiasm, and containing some vivid and admira- 
 ble descriptions of local scenes and "characters." 
 
 John Uri Lloyd (1849 — ), of Cincinnati, whose name has 
 long been familiar to the scientific world which is indebted to his 
 pen for important works in chemistry and pharmacy, is also 
 known to a wide circle of readers of fiction. He possesses a bold 
 and fertile fancy, and a very accurate eye for nature and for 
 types of character, as may be discerned by the perusal of his 
 unique stories of Northern Kentucky, "Stringtown on the Pike," 
 and "Warwick of the Knobs," and his marvellous "Etidorpha; 
 or the End of the Earth." Professor Lloyd sees with his. own 
 eyes and records what he sees with remarkable originality and 
 independence, not giving much heed to literary convention. 
 
 Nathaniel Stephenson, also of Cincinnati, belongs to the 
 later school of analytic writers who pay a good deal of attention 
 to form and to art for art's sake. He is a man of cultured taste 
 and wide reading, and has a polished style, a delicate perception, 
 and a sense of humor. He is the author of "They That Took the 
 Sword," a historical novel the plot of which is laid in Southern 
 Ohio, and of "The Beautiful Mrs. Moulton," a story of modern 
 society. 
 
 Charles Frederick Goss (1852—), author of "The Redemp- 
 tion of David Corson," "The Loom of Life," "Little Saint Sun- 
 shine," "The Philopolist," etc., is a writer of "fiction with a pur- 
 pose," some of whose popular romances have been much dis- 
 cussed and diversely judged. Mr. Goss has an ardent love for 
 nature, a deep sympathy with all classes of humanity, and a vivid

 pictorial fancy. His style is vigorous, fluent and earnest, and he 
 has an aptitude for brilliant scenic effects. 
 
 John Brown Jewett, of Newtown, Ohio, a poet and recluse, 
 of fine sensibility, is the author of "Tales of the Miami Country." 
 Mr. Jewett is one of Ohio's most charming writers, albeit his 
 work is but little known. In his exquisite sketch, "Fiddler't 
 Green," and in other simple and beautiful compositions; he re- 
 veals himself a man of true literary instincts who possesses the 
 seeing eye and the understanding heart. 
 
 Dr. Howard A. M. Henderson, an eloquent Methodist 
 preacher of Ohio, is the author of a widely circulated religious 
 novel, "Diomede the Centurion," the design of which is "to give 
 the average reader a panoramic view of the planting period of the 
 Christian Era." The book is written in a style at once fervid and 
 ornate. 
 
 It is logical that the state which put forward the first Aboli- 
 tionist candidate for the president of the Republic, and originated 
 the first university for negroes, and harbored the chief managers 
 of the underground railroad, and inspired Mrs. Stowe to write 
 "Uncle Tom's Cabin," should be one of the states readiest to 
 encourage literary endeavor on the part of men of African des- 
 cent. 
 
 Charles Waddell Chesnutt (1858—), of Cleveland, is fairly 
 entitled to rank among the leading writers of our country. His 
 novels are published by one of the foremost firms of Boston and 
 are commended by able critics. Here and there his work is crude 
 and abrupt, but it is in terrible earnest and his stories move 
 straight on with dramatic and even tragic power. His writings 
 include a "Life of Frederick Douglass," the novels: "The Wife 
 of His Youth," "The Conjure Woman," "The House Behind the 
 Cedars," "The Marrow of Tradition.'^ 
 
 Paul Lawrence Dunbar (1872), who was born and reared 
 in Dayton, Ohio, has achieved a comfortable reputation as a 
 poet, from his books of verse, "Oak and Ivy," "Majors and 
 Minors," and "Lyrics of Lowly Life." and he has written suc- 
 cessful novels, viz., "The Snort of the Gods" and "The Fanatics." 
 These books show their author to possess humor, pathos and 
 vivid imagination,

 HUMOROUS WRITERS. 
 
 William Tappan Thompson (1812-1882), a native of Ohio, 
 who went to Georgia and became a prominent journalist, was 
 renowned in his day and generation for the rough and extrava- 
 gant portraitures and caricatures which he made of southern 
 types, and which were published under the titles "Major Jones's 
 Courtship," "Major Jones's Sketches of Travel," "Characters of 
 Pineville," etc. He also wrote a very droll farce, "The Live 
 Indian," which furnished John E. Owens with one of his laugh- 
 able roles. 
 
 Samuel Sullivan Cox, "Sunset Cox" (1824-1889), of Zanes- 
 ville, journalist, orator, statesman, diplomatist, one of the most 
 brilliant and accomplished of Ohio's honored sons, added to his 
 distinction as a political and descriptive writer the reputation 
 of a man of rare wit and humor. All his writing and speeches 
 abound in keen passages, and in one elaborate volume entitled, 
 "Why We Laugh," he discusses the philosophy of humor. Like 
 "Tom" Corwin, Mr. Cox had a genius for the wisdom of the 
 ludicrous, 
 
Ohio Centennial. 623 
 
 David Ross Locke (1833-1888), author of "Divers Views, 
 Opinions, and Prophesies of Yours Trooly, Petroleum V. Nasby," 
 whose keen, satirical letters purporting to be written by a seces- 
 sionist of "Confederate Cross Roads, Kentucky,' delighted Pres- 
 ident Lincoln and were accounted by Secretary Chase as of power- 
 ful effect in helping to save the Union, was certainly a humorist 
 of extraordinary endowment — a genius in his particular sphere. 
 He laughed his enemies to scorn and "drew out Levathian with an 
 hook" of sharpest wit. Mr. Locke was a native of the State of 
 New York, but the greater portion of his life was spent in Ohio, 
 chiefly in Toledo. He published one novel, "A Paper City." • 
 
 The inimitable Artemus Ward ( 1834-1867) came to Ohio 
 about the year 1850, and though his sojourn in the state was not 
 long, he wrote, while living on the Western Reserve, a num- 
 ber of his brightest and drollest papers. 
 
 POETRY. 
 
 In the year 1824 the editor of the Cincinnati Literary Ga- 
 zette printed in his "Notes to Contributors" the following apolo- 
 getic excuse for declining a poetical effusion from a Kentucky 
 correspondent: "Poetry is in so flourishing a state on our side 
 of the river that the limits alloted to this department are preoccu- 
 pied." Timothy Flint, in the IVcstcrn Magazine and Review, 
 for May, 1827, wrote, "We are a scribbling and forth-putting 
 people. Little as they have dreamed of the fact in the Atlantic 
 country, we have our thousand orators and poets. * * * We 
 believe that amid the freshness of our unspoiled nature, beneath 
 the shade of the huge sycamores of the Miami, or cooling the 
 forehead in the breeze of the beautiful Ohio, and under the 
 canopy of our Italian sky, other circumstances being eqi^al, a 
 man might write as well as in the dens of a dark city." A 
 volume of "Selections from' the Poetical Literature of the West," 
 compiled by W. D. Gallagher, was published in Cincinnati in 
 1 841. It contains 210 pieces, and represents 38 writers, seven 
 of whom are women. Coggeshall's well known "Poets and Poetry 
 of the Ohio Valley," a volume of 680 pp., issued in i860, gives 
 sketches of 152 writers, with selections from their best book. 
 Twenty-nine of the poets' names belong to Ohio. The admirable 
 
624 Ohio Arch, and His. Society Publications. 
 
 volume, "American Poetry and Art," edited by J. J. Piatt and 
 published in Cincinnati in 1882, presents, with discriminating 
 judgment, many of the choicest poems written in the Ohio Valley. 
 
 There is no need to record here the long list of books of 
 Ohio verse which now exist only in old catalogues or in rare 
 collections. Enough to say that not a few of these possess con- 
 siderable merit, and were sought after, scrap-booked and admired 
 in their little day. It has been the good fortune of a number 
 of the early writers to hold a more secure place in the public 
 memory by virtue of the anthologies in which their poems are 
 kept alive, perhaps under the title of "old favorites." 
 
 By far the most eminent of the early poets of the Ohio 
 Valley was the bard who sang of the "Days When We Were 
 Pioneers," and of the "Green Forest Land," the "Golden Wed- 
 ding on Rolling Fork," the solitude of "Miami Woods," and 
 the song of the "Brown Thrush" and "The Cardinal Bird." We 
 refer to the good poet Wm. D. Gallagher, a truly inspired singer, 
 gifted with the "love of love, the scorn of scorn," and with a 
 Wordsworthian discernment of the feelings, beauty and signifi- 
 cance of nature. As an artist he deserves a fuller appreciation 
 than he has yet received, for he possesses unusual skill in melody, 
 and a command of blank verse seldom attained in American 
 literature. There are passages in his carefully wrought pastorals 
 which, for dignity, noble simplicity and genuine reverence for 
 spiritual beauty, compare with the masterful work of the so- 
 called Lake School of poets. It is to be regretted that some of 
 his most characteristic poems are out of print, but fortunately 
 a few copies of his "Miami Woods and Other Poems" are 
 preserved in libraries. 
 
 The now almost forgotten name of Otway Curry (1804- 
 1855) was familiar to the eye and ear of all who, in the West 
 of forty years ago, cared about poetry. The school readers con- 
 tained extracts from Curry's "Eternal River," "Kingdom Come," 
 and "The Lost Pleiad." James H. Perkins was likewise esteemed 
 and quoted. There are scores of persons living in Ohio, who 
 can recite lines from that once hackneyed "declamation," "O Were 
 You Ne'er a School-boy ?" or "The Young Soldier." Charles A. 
 
Ohio Centennial. 625 
 
 Jones (1835-185 1) is remembered by his oft reprinted "Te- 
 cumseh," 
 
 "Stop, Stranger! there Tecumseh lies;" 
 
 and by his faithfully descriptive pieces, "The Pioneers" and 
 "Lines to the Ohio River." F. W. Thomas still holds a place 
 in our books of "Selections," by virtue of his fidelity to truth 
 and nature in some meritorious stanzas of his descriptive poem, 
 "The Emigrant," and because of the sentiment and melody of 
 the song, " Tis Said that Absence Conquers Love." W. W. 
 Fosdick, on whom his contemporaries and patrons, M. D. Con- 
 way, \V PI. Lytle and others, bestowed the title, "Laureate of 
 the Queen City," wrote an ambitious volume, "Ariel, and Other 
 Poems," the more labored contents of which have passed into 
 oblivion, while a few of its simple, unpretentious, but genuine 
 poems, faithfully reporting visible and vital fact, continue to 
 exert a charm and to win a due meed of praise. Of these 
 chtrised few none are better than the lyrics : "The Maize" 
 and ''The Pawpaw." Born five years later than Fosdick, Florus 
 B. Plimpton (1830-1886), journalist and poet, achieved more 
 than a local reputation for the form and quality of his carefully 
 finisjnd literary work. Holmes and Whittier took him into fel- 
 lowship. Though his death occurred less than twenty years ago, 
 and though a beautiful memorial edition of his poems was issued 
 in 1886, almost the only piece of his verse which survives is the 
 vigorous ballad, "Lewis Wetzel," another instance of the vitality 
 of compositions dealing with the actual in a direct and sympa- 
 thetic style. Yet it seems that other of Plimpton's lyrics should 
 be recognized by common consent as worthy of the favor be- 
 stowed upon this one ballad. The anthologies might well in- 
 clude, from his poems, "A Poor Man's Thanksgiving," "Sum- 
 mer Davs," "Her Record," "T n Remembrance," and the sonnet, 
 "Pittsburg." Byron Foreseythe Willson (1837-1867), whose lit- 
 erary work Mr. J. J. Piatt displays and reviews at great length 
 in the "Hesperian Tree," for 1903, was undoubtedly a poet of 
 rare gifts, but he never was nor will be popular. One of his 
 poems, "The Old Sargeant," had a temporary popularity soon 
 after its publication in the time of the Civil War, but now it is 
 40 o. c.

 seldom read and only by literary folks. Willson was charac- 
 terized by Mr. Stedman as "A strongly imaginative balladist, 
 whose death was a loss to poetry." 
 
 The departed singers whose work has scarcely more than 
 been glanced at in the above paragraph, though not poetical stars 
 of first magnitude, have at least "fixed their glimmers." In 
 their constellation belong three other lights, which whether from 
 accident or because of their intrinsic superiority, have attracted 
 more attention than their contemporaries. These are Thomas 
 Buchanan Read (1822-1872), William Haines Lytle ( 1826-1863), 
 and Alice Cary (1820- 1870). 
 
 Thomas Buchanan Read used to say he had four principal 
 homes, Philadelphia, Boston, Florence and Cincinnati. He had 
 many friends in Ohio, to whom he acknowledged his indebted- 
 ness for patronage in art and letters. During his sojourn in 
 the Queen City, he was constantly busy at the easel or the desk, 
 and in that city he painted some of his finest pictures and com- 
 posed some of his best poems. The house in which he lived, on 
 Seventh street, and in which he wrote the poem "Sheridan's Ride," 
 is marked with a bronze tablet, commemorating these facts. 
 
 Gen. W H. Lytle, though not a "one poem poet," gained 
 his secure place in literature through the merit of his mastrepiece, 
 the lyric, "Antony and Cleopatra," a stroke of genius and true 
 inspiration, — a passionate glorification of love and war, of the 
 "Great Triumvir" and the "Star-eyed Egyptian," — and the author 
 rose to renown. Like Kinney's "Rain upon the Roof," and 
 O'Hara's "The Bivouac for the Dead," the "Antony and Cleo- 
 patra" appears to be "booked for immortality." In the small 
 volume of Lytle's Poems collected by the writer of this sketch 
 and published in 1894, readers will find a number of pieces well 
 worthy to be preserved with the "Antony and Cleopatra." 
 Specially excellent are the lyrics: "Popocatapetl," "Macdonald's 
 Drummer," "Jaqueline," "The Volunteers," "Farewell" and 
 "Sweet May Moon." 
 
 A third of a century has elapsed since Alice Cary died : more 
 than half a century since she gathered her first laurels as a poet. 
 At the very beginning of her literary career she was received with 
 applause, and from year to year her reputation steadily ad-

 vanced. It is to be doubted if any other American woman has 
 ever, through the accomplishment of verse, attained so much 
 celebrity as did this country girl of Clovernook. Even to-day, 
 she has numerous readers and admirers, not only in Ohio, but 
 in all parts of the United States. This is not because her poetry 
 stands the test of severe criticism, for it does not. Yet it has 
 some of the rare and potent qualities essential to excellent poetic 
 composition as a fine art, and she herself was gifted generously 
 with those qualities of genius which, when adequately developed, 
 make the creation of good poetry possible. She was one of the 
 poets "sown by nature;" she was sensitive to all beauty and 
 truth ; she had broad sympathies ; she had the "vision and 
 the faculty divine." Readers loved her personality and felt in- 
 stinctively that she understood their feelings, and that she wrote 
 of what she really knew, from direct observation and experience. 
 
 Phoebe Cary was also a genuine poet, though by no means 
 the peer of her sister. The two women exerted, and still exert 
 a sweet, pure and stimulating influence, especially upon the young 
 in the public schools and upon sentimental readers who care 
 more for melodious common sense than for the subtleties and re- 
 finement of poetic art however masterfully employed. 
 
 Coates Kinney (1826 — ) holds the seniority and the pri- 
 macy among our poets. Nature endowed his large brain richly 
 with the power of thought and the faculty of song. Though he 
 has been a man of affairs — a lawyer, journalist, military officer, 
 state senator — he has never neglected the higher "business of 
 his dreams," but is one of those 
 
 "twice blest who in age pursues 
 His art with young desire." 
 
 In his youth he gave to the world the spontaneous music of "Rain 
 Upon the Roof," which has maintained its popularity for more 
 than fifty years and which, in its revised form, will no doubt 
 continue a favorite with all who have the gift of nice apprecia- 
 tion. Representative of the author's mature power and of especial 
 interest to the student of Ohio literature is the Ohio Centennial 
 Ode, 1888, a forceful production giving eloquent expression to 
 
628 Ohio Arch, and His. Society Publications. 
 
 what is best and noblest in Ohio history, tradition and ideals, 
 and worthy to be classed with Lowell's Commemoration Ode. 
 Of Kinney's poetry in general, Julian Hawthorne wrote : "It 
 expands the brain and touches the heart. * * * What he 
 has done will last." W. D. Howells assigns to the poet a place 
 among "the few who think in the electrical flushes known only 
 to the passions of most men," and the same critic testifies that 
 Kinney's verse "brings to the reader the thrill imparted by mas- 
 tery in an art which has of late seemed declining into clever artis- 
 try." It is impossible, in this brief sketch, to give and adequate 
 idea of the scope and quality of Coates Kinney's verse. The 
 strength of his imagination, his profound insight into the heart 
 of man and of nature, his vigorous intellectual grasp and subtle 
 analytic acumen, his daring fancy, and his facile command of 
 rythm and rime are revealed in the two important volumes, 
 "Lyrics of the Ideal and Real," 1887, and "Mists of Fire," 1899, 
 which contain a great variety of poems dealing with themes phil- 
 osophical, religious, patriotic, social, and purely aesthetic. When 
 at his best Kinney writes with a vividness, originality and beauty 
 which gives a surprise and delight such as none but poets of 
 first rate genius can awaken. If called upon to select from his 
 later volumes the lyrics which in our judgment entitle him to a 
 place of distinction among the poets of the century, our list of 
 titles would include: "The Old Apple-tree," "Apostrophe of 
 Death," "Alone," "Ships Coming In," "Mars," "Singing Flame," 
 "Vesuvius," "Madonna," and "Our Only Daw" 
 
 John James Piatt (1835 — :), has long occupied a secure and 
 deservedly conspicuous position as one of Ohio's indefatigable 
 promoters of belles Jcttres. Fie is one of those "planters of celes- 
 tial plants," who have never lost faith in high ideals nor in the 
 divinity of the Muses. Fie has devoted much of his energy to 
 elevating the literary profession in the Ohio Valley, both by his 
 discriminating work as an editorial writer and by his many pub- 
 lications in choice prose and genuine poetry. The country owes 
 him a debt of gratitude for editing that notably elegant and 
 compendious volume, "The Union of American Poetry and Art," 
 and for issuing the more recent sumptuous volumes cf "The Hes- 
 perian Tree," a Western Annual containing some of the best 
 
Ohio Centennial. 629 
 
 literature of the period. Mr. Piatt's reputation as a poet is estab- 
 lished ; he needs no new encomium. Proud and jealous of the 
 region in which he was born and educated, he has chosen to 
 write much on local themes, "The Pioneer's Chimney," "The 
 Lost Farm," "The Mower in Ohio," and he has given subtle and 
 delicate poetic expression to thoughts and emotions evoked by 
 the idylic, the home-bred and the pensive. Since 1893 he has 
 resided at North Bend, Ohio, devoting his time to literature. In 
 i860, he published, in collaboration with W. D. Howells, a first 
 book, "Poems of Two Friends." Other of his poetical writings 
 are: "The Xests at Washington," "Poems in Sunshine and Fire- 
 light," "Western Windows," "Landmarks," "Poems of Plouse 
 and Home," "Lyrics of the Ohio Valley," and "The Ghost's 
 Entry and Other Poems." His prose style is shown at its best 
 in a volume of delightfully artistic essays, entitled, "Penciled 
 Fly Leaves." 
 
 Mrs. Sarah Morgan Bryan Piatt (1836 — ), wife of John 
 James Piatt, is a woman of original and exceptional genius — a 
 poet whose name shines in American literature 
 
 "Like some great jewel full of fire.'' 
 
 She is unrivalled, in her province of song, by any living writer 
 of her sex, whether native to this continent or of foreign birth. 
 Though her range of concept and invention is not wide, nor her 
 methods of expression remarkable for variety, she is inimitable 
 in her own, vivid, bold and suggestive invention and manner. 
 Whatever she writes has meaning — and the significance is often 
 deep — sometimes strange and elusive — never commonplace. 
 Mrs. Piatt's rare artistic skill has been admired by many who 
 appreciate the technical difficulties of the poetic craft. A London 
 critic of severe discrimination prouounces that her work is "not 
 easy to equal, much less to surpass, on either side of the Atlantic." 
 She is the author of the following: "A Woman's Poems," "A 
 Voyage to the Fortunate Isles," "That New World," "Poems 
 in Company with Children," "Dramatic Persons and Moods," 
 "An Irish Garland," "In Primrose Time," "Child's World Bal- 
 lads," "The Witch in the Glass," "An Enchanted Castle." Her

 "Complete Poems," in two volumes, appeared in 1894, from the 
 press of Longmans, Green & Co., New York and London. 
 
 Edith Matilda Thomas (1854 — ), a brilliant exponent 
 of the culture of the Western Reserve, modified by the influence of 
 New England training, was born in Medina county, and educated 
 in a Normal School at Geneva, Ohio, in which latter tillage her lit- 
 erary tendencies were encouraged and largely developed. In her 
 early womanhood she came under the influence of Mrs. Helen 
 Hunt Jackson who was her friend and counsellor. In 1888, Miss 
 Thomas removed to New York City, where she still resides, and 
 where, as did Alice Cary, she devotes herself to authorship, being 
 an accomplished writer in prose and in verse. In poetry she has 
 published several small volumes: "A New Year's Masque," 
 "Lyrics and Sonnets," "The Inverted Torch," "Fair Shadow 
 Land," "In Sunshine Land," "In the Young World," 
 and "A Winter Swallow, and Other Verse." That she is a true 
 poet, one who has "slept on the Mountain of Song," and brought 
 home pure Parnassian dews, those who appreciateively read her 
 books will testify. A keen and trained intellect, a versatile and 
 often daring fancy, an almost passionate love of nature, an Em- 
 ersonian fondness for the occult, a fine taste for classicism and 
 for the suggestive beauty of myth, are among the elements for her 
 mind and of her artistic equipment. Her poetry, though not 
 characterized by intense passion, spontaneity or haunting melody, 
 is remarkable for strength, feeling, delicacy, variety of stanza 
 form, and for a finish found only in the work of literary virtuosi. 
 Of recent years only a comparatively few writers in Ohio 
 have chosen to "strictly mediate the Muse," thankless or other- 
 wise, and of those few, the majority are not of the younger gen- 
 eration. No list of Western poets would be complete without 
 the name of "Kate Brownlee Sherwood" (1841 — ), of Toledo, 
 whose patriotic pen gave the State and the Republic those in- 
 spiring books, "Camp Fire and Memorial Dav Poems," and 
 "Dreams of the Ages, a Poem of Columbia." Nor should the 
 record forget the name of Alice Williams Brotherton, accom- 
 plished scholar and lecturer on literary topics, contributor to the 
 "Century," and author of two books of well conceived and care- 
 fully wrought verse, "Beyond the Veil," and "The Sailing of 
 
Ohio Centennial. 631 
 
 King Olaf." William Norman Guthrie (1868 — ), author of 
 "Songs of American Destiny, or a Vision of New Hellas," "To 
 Kindle the Yule Log," "The Old Hemlock," and "The Christ 
 of the Ages," sings a subtle Orphic strain in forms of poetic art 
 which follow the cult of Leopardi and George Meredith. 
 
 To Dr. John Martin Crawford (1845 — ), of Cincinnati, late 
 LJ. S. Consul to St. Petersburg, is due the credit for having ren- 
 dered into English verse the famous national epic of Finland, 
 the "Kalevala." 
 
 Thomas Ewing, Jr., son and grandson, respectively, of the 
 two Ohio statesmen whose name he bears, is the author of 
 "Jonathan : a Tragedy," a dignified, scholarly poem elaborating 
 the story of Jonathan and David as told in the first book of 
 Samuel. The scenes are well wrought in blank verse and the 
 whole work is a creditable achievement in the difficult art of 
 dramatic poetry.
