Mary Hartwell Catherwood (1847-1902), who was born at Luray, Licking County, Ohio, and whose literary work is of a high order, entitling her to a permanent place among American novelists, was an indefatigable student of the history of the French settlements in Canada and the United States, an admirable delineator

of character and a literary artist of delicate taste and lively fancy. Her writings include: "Craque-o'-Doom," "Old Caravan Days," "The Secret of Roseladies," "The Days of Jeanne d' Arc," "The Romance of Dollard," "The Bells of Ste. Anne," "The Story of Tonty," "The Lady of Fort St. John," "Old Kas- kaskia," "The White Islander," "The Chase of St. Castin and Other Tales," "Spanish Peggy," and "La- zarre. "
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, including "Drugs and Medicines of North America," "Elixirs," etc., 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 realistic novels of northern Kentucky, "Stringtown on the Pike," "Warwick of the Knobs," "Red Head," "Scroggins," and of his fascinating pseudo-scientific romance of the subterra- nean world, entitled "Etidorhpa; or, The End of the Earth."
Charles Frederick Goss (1852 -), of Cincinnati, Presbyterian clergyman, eloquent champion of civic reforms and practical exponent of the ideal religious conduct of life, author of "The Optimist," "The Philop- olist," "Hits and Misses," "Just a Minute" and "Husband, Wife and Home," is perhaps most widely known as the writer of several novels and stories with an ethical purpose, including "The Redemption of David Corson," "The Loom of Life," "Little Saint

Sunshine," and "That Other Hand upon the Helm." Mr. Goss is the author of a recently published History of Cincinnati.
John Bennett (1865 -), born and educated in Chilli- cothe, an accomplished and a graceful poet as well as a writer of fiction, won an immediate reputation on the merit of his first book, "Master Skylark," which met with a cordial welcome at home and abroad, and which has been translated into both Dutch and German. Since the publication of "Master Skylark," in 1897, Mr. Bennett has produced two other delightful stories, "Barnaby Lee" and "The Treasure of Peyre Gaillard," the latter a romance of the Santee Swamps.
Nathaniel Stephenson (1867 -), born in Cincinnati, formerly literary editor of the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, has been, since 1902, professor of history in the College of Charleston (S. C.). A skilled and ver- satile writer on historical and literary themes, Mr. Stephenson is an occasional contributor to critical magazines and is the author of three entertaining novels: "They That Took the Sword," "The Beauti- ful Mrs. Moulton" and "Eleanor Dayton."
Mary Stanbery Watts (1868 -), of Cincinnati, born in Delaware County, Ohio, began her literary career by writing short stories which appeared mostly in "McClure's Magazine" from 1906 to 1909, within which period she wrote a number of criticisms and critical essays for the New York Times. Her first book, "The Tenants, " was issued in 1908 and since that date two other novels from her pen have been pub- lished, "Nathan Burke" and "The Legacy," both of which have received a cordial welcome from the reading

public and from the press. In a review of "Nathan Burke," a discriminating critic writes: "It is life itself that the author gives us, rather than the artificial arrange- ments of life found in most novels: her people are real people rather the studies of virtue and villainy that we usually get and that are so much easier to make."
Burton Egbert Stevenson (1872 -), of Chillicothe, formerly city editor of the Chillicothe Daily News and later of the Daily Advertiser, librarian of the Public Library of Chillicothe, one of the most accomplished and successful of the literary men of Ohio, editor of "Days and Deeds," "Poems of American History," "An Anthology of English Poetry," etc., is the author of many entertaining novels, including: "At Odds with the Regent: A Story of the Cellamare Conspiracy," "A Soldier of Virginia: A Story of Colonel Washington and Braddock's Defeat," "The Heritage," "Tommy Remington's Battle,". "The Holladay Case," "Cadets of Gascony, Two Stories of Old France," "The Mara- thon Mystery," "The Young Section Hand," "The Girl with the Blue Sailor," "Affairs of State," "The Young Train-Dispatcher," "That Affair at Elizabeth," "The Quest for the Rose of Sharon," "The Young Train-Master," and "Tavernay."
James Ball Naylor (1860 -), of Pennsville, Ohio, physician, is the author of "Ralph Marlowe," a lively and interesting character study, the scene of which is laid in an oil village on the Muskingum, and also of the novels entitled, respectively, "The Sign of the Prophet," "In the Days of St. Clair," and "Under Mad Anthony's Banner," all dealing with stirring events in early Ohio history. Dr. Naylor has published also

Thomas Chalmers Harbaugh (1849 -), of Casstown, Ohio, is the author of "The White Squadron," "Janet Sinclair," "Stories of Ohio," "The Divining-Rod," "Member from Miami," "Alice of Maryland," "Deuce of Diamonds," "The Third Woman," "Tory Plot," "In Buff and Blue, " etc., and, in verse, "Maple Leaves" and "Lyrics of the Gray."
Nathan Gallizier (1866 -), of Cincinnati, whose first publication, "Ignis Fatuus-A Dream of the Rococo" (in German), appeared in 1900, is the author of a trilogy of romances which deal in a brilliant and dramatic style with characters and episodes of Italian history, under the titles: "Castel del Monte," "The Sorceress of Rome," and "The Court of Lucifer."
Thomas Emmet Moore (1861 -), of Wellston, Ohio, born at Piketon, Pike County, editor and poet, is the author of two very entertaining historical romances, "My Lord Farquhar," treating of the Turko-Armenian strife of 1894-95, and "The Haunted King," a story of David and Saul, in which the author contrasts "the moral darkness of the ever-decadent Paganism with the Light which was and is and ever shall be the unfailing hope and guide of humanity."

OF AN AMERICAN STATE
Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry in the Spanish- American War, and member of the American Institute of Christian Philosophy, is the author of a 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." Among other books by Dr. Henderson we may name "Wealth and Workmen," "Ethics of the Pulpit," "Pew and Parish," "Autumn Leaves," and "My Black Mammy."
It is logical that the State which put forward the first Abolitionist candidate for the presidency of the Republic, established the first university for negroes, 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 descent.
Charles Waddell Chesnutt (1858 -), of Cleveland, ranks well among American writers of fiction. His novels are published by one of the foremost houses of Boston, and have won merited commendation from exacting critics. They deal largely with the negro question, and are characterized by sincerity, pathos and genuine dramatic power. Mr. Chesnutt is the author of "The Conjure Woman," "The Wife of His Youth and Other Stories," "Life of Frederick Doug- las," "The House behind the Cedars," "The Mar- row of Tradition," and "The Colonel's Dream."
Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906) was born in Dayton, Ohio, where he received a common school education. He early manifested decided literary talent and soon became a writer for journals in Dayton and
64
THE RISE AND PROGRESS
in New York City. Through the influence of Robert G. Ingersoll he was appointed to a clerkship in the Congressional Library, Washington, D. C., where he spent a few years. His first novel, entitled "The Uncalled," is reminiscent of his own experiences. It was followed by "Folks from Dixie" (a volume of short stories), "The Love of Landry," "The Strength of Gideon," "The Fanatics," and "The Sport of the Gods." Of these creations of realistic fiction, the last three are remarkable for strength and fidelity in their delineation of human life and its struggles.
General Hugh Boyle Ewing (1826-1905), of Lan- caster, Ohio, late U. S. Minister to the Hague, is the author of two entertaining novels, "A Castle in the Air" and "The Black List."
General John Beatty (1828 -), of Columbus, is well known as the author of those patriotic volumes, "The Citizen Soldier" and "Belle O'Becket's Lane," and of the prehistorical novel entitled "The Acol- huans. "
Charles Humphrey Roberts (1847 -), born near Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, has published an interesting historical study, "Down the O-h-i-o, a Novel of Quaker Life," in which the operation of the "Underground Railroad" is vividly pictured.
Mary Aplin Sprague (1849 -), of Newark, Ohio, demonstrated her ability to create a bright, piquant, epigrammatic, and witty book when she produced the lively novel entitled "An Earnest Trifler."
John Brown Jewett, of Newtown, Ohio, a poet and recluse, is the author of "Tales of the Miami Country." Mr. Jewett is one of Ohio's most charming writers,
65

albeit his work is but little known. In his exquisite sketch, "Fiddler's Green," and in other simple and beautiful compositions, he reveals himself a man of true literary instincts, who possesses the seeing eye and understanding heart.
Margaret Holmes Bates (1844 -), a native of Fremont, Ohio, has contributed to our imaginative literature those pleasing novels: "Jasper Fairfax," "The Prince of the Ring," "Shylock's Daughter," and "The Chamber over the Gate."
George Henry Picard (1850 -), born at Berea, Ohio, has won distinction as the author of the popular novels: "A Matter of Taste," "A Mission Flower," "Old Boniface," "Madam Noël," and "The Bishop's Niece."
John Randolph Spears (1850 -), an Ohioan whose superior work has been commended in England and France as well as at home, and whose naval histories are among the best of their class, is the author of "The Port of Missing Ships, and Other Tales of the Sea."
Claude Hazelton Wetmore (1862 -), born at Cuya- hoga Falls, Ohio, traveler, journalist, and author of "Beyond a Hand-Clasp," "The Battle against Brib- ery," etc., won reputation from the signal success of his first novel, "The Sweepers of the Sea."
Julius Chambers (1859 -), born at Bellefontaine, Ohio, a distinguished journalist, lecturer and writer, is the well-known author of "A Mad World," "On a Margin," "Lovers Four and Maidens Five," "The Rascal Club," etc., and of numerous short stories and acting plays.

THE RISE AND PROGRESS
Paul Kester (1869 -), born at Delaware, Ohio, who has attained celebrity as a dramatist, several of his highly successful plays having been produced by such distinguished actors as Sothern, Marlowe, Fiske, Modjeska, and Salvini, is the author of "Tales of the Real Gipsy."
Frederick Burr Opper (1857 -), born in Madison, Lake County, Ohio, the popular artist and comic illustrator, who, though not a writer of literary fiction, tells many a graphic story with his pencil, has published for the amusement of everybody "Folks in Funnyville," "Happy Hooligan," "Alphonse and Gaston " and other pictorial books of extravagant humor.
We may add to the catalogue of Ohio fiction the following miscellaneous list: "Wall Street and the Woods," by William J. Flagg; "The Lost Model" and "Wash Bolter," by Henry Hooper; "The Shoe- maker's Family" and "The Convert," by Isaac M. Wise; "The Log of Commodore Rollingpin" and "Thomas Rutherton," by John H. Carter; "Mrs. Armitage's Ward," by Judge D. Thew Wright; "The Secret of the Andes," by Frederick Hassaurek; "Her Ladyship," by Dr. Thomas C. Minor; "A Buddhist Lover," by Mrs. Robert Hosea; "Silas Jackson's Wrongs" and "The Marquis and the Moon," by Nicholas Longworth; "Vawder's Understudy" and "The Three Richard Whalens," by James Knapp Reeve; "The Freeburgers," by Denton J. Snider; "Charles Kill-Buck, an Indian Story of the Border Wars of the American Revolution," by Francis C. Huebner; "Iturbide, a Soldier of Mexico," by Dr. John Lewin McLeish; "Ezra Caine," "The Romance

Tod Gilliam.
HUMOROUS WRITERS
William Tappan Thompson (1812-82), a native of Ohio, who went to Georgia and became a journalist, was renowned in his day and generation for the rough and extravagant 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 droll farce, "The Live Indian," which furnished John E. Owens, the comedian, with one of his laughable rôles.
Samuel Sullivan Cox, "Sunset Cox" (1824-89), of Zanesville, 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 writings 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.
David Ross Locke (1833-88), author of "Divers Views, Opinions, and Prophesies of Yours Trooly,

THE RISE AND PROGRESS
Petroleum V. Nasby," whose keen, satirical letters purporting to be written by a secessionist of "Con- federate Cross Roads, Kentucky," delighted President Lincoln and were accounted by Secretary Chase as of powerful 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 Leviathan 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 pub- lished one novel, "A Paper City."
The inimitable Artemus Ward (1834-67) 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 number of his brightest and drollest papers.
POETRY
In the year 1824 the editor of the Cincinnati "Literary Gazette" printed in his Notes to Contributors the following apologetic 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 allotted to this department are preoccupied." Timothy Flint, in the "Western 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 circum- stances being equal, 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 184I. It contains 210 pieces, and represents 38 writers, most of whom resided in Ohio. Coggeshall's well-known "Poets and Poetry of the Ohio Valley," a volume of 680 pp., issued in 1860, gives sketches of 152 writers, with selections from their best verse. Twenty-nine of the authors represented in this book belong to Ohio. The admirable 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 Buckeye State.
In the volume, "Poets of Ohio" (1909), a critical anthology with biographical sketches and notes, Mr. Emerson Venable distinguishes the poetical work of thirty-four representative writers.
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 considerable merit, and they 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
70
THE RISE AND PROGRESS
We were Pioneers," and of the "Green Forest Land," the "Golden Wedding on Rolling Fork," the soli- tude of "Miami Woods," and the song of the "Brown Thrush" and "The Cardinal Bird." We refer to the good poet, William D. Gallagher, a truly inspired singer, gifted with the "love of love, the scorn of scorn," and with a Wordsworthian discernment of the beauty and significance 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 pastoral 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 (1804-55) was familiar to the eye and ear of all who, in the West of fifty years ago, cared about poetry. The school-readers gave wide circulation to Curry's poems: "The Going Forth of God," "The 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. Jones (1815-51) is remembered by his oft reprinted "Tecumseh,"
"Stop, Stranger! there Tecumseh lies";

and by his faithfully descriptive pieces, "The Pioneers," "The Old Mound" 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. Conway, W. H. 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 win a due meed of praise. Of these cherished few none are better than the lyrics, "The Maize" and "The Pawpaw." Daniel Decatur Emmett (1815- 1904), author of "Dixie," and Benjamin Russell Hanby (1833-67), author of "Darling Nelly Gray," were both Ohio men who won distinction as writers of popular music and song. William James Sperry (1828-56), is remembered as the author of the melodious lyric "A Lament for the Ancient People." Byron Foresythe Willson (1837-67), whose poetical work Mr. J. J. Piatt reviews at great length in the "Hesperian Tree" for 1903, was undoubtedly a poet of rare gifts. One of his poems,"The Old Sergeant," had great popularity soon after its publication in the time of the Civil War. Willson is characterized by Mr. Stedman as "A strongly imaginative balladist, whose death was a loss to poetry."

THE RISE AND PROGRESS
The departed singers whose work has scarcely more than been glanced at in the above paragraph, though not 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 (1822-72), William Haines Lytle (1826-63), and Alice Cary (1820-70).
