I have written hun- dreds of letters to Librarians, to University Professors, to State Historical Societies, and to State Superintendents of Public Instruction. I have met with some difficulties in the obtaining of material, for even where bibliographies and histories of literature exist, it is not always possible to learn of them. I have been much surprised and am very grateful for the interest manifested in the work and for the readiness with which replies have been given to letters and questionnaires. As far as I have been able to learn, there is no book that treats of the literature of the different states. It is seldom even that the state as a unit is mentioned in a text book on American literature. However, nearly all of the states have authors who have written books about their state literature and as the wealth of the material and the number of authors in the state increase, so will the in- terest in local and state literature tend to increase. I have found my subject a very interesting one and hope that this little outline may serve to direct attention toward Ameri- can state literature. I have been very successful in obtaining material, es- pecially so in regard to a list of authors, so that it has been a difficult question to know what authors to name in so short a list as I have been able to present. The over- lappage of states also is a difficult question. I have given no author a residence in a state unless he has been placed there by some state authority. I have named, insofar as I PREFACE have been able, a representative work of each author named. It will be impossible for me to make an acknow- ledgement of all the bibliographies and histories of liter- ature used, as they include those in the Lawrence and Topeka Libraries, besides many loans from libraries all over the United States. "Who's Who in America" gives a bibliography of the living representative authors in the United States. "The Library of Southern Litera- ture," published by the Martin and Hoyt Company, At- lanta, Georgia, in I913 and "Southern Literature," by Louise Manly, published in 1895, give a bibliography for the following Southern states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mis- sissippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Calolina, Ten- nessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. It will also be impossible for me to make an ac- knowledgement of personal help received. I am grate- ful for the courtesies shown me by the Librarians of the Lawrence and the Topeka Libraries. I am indebted to Professor E. M. Hopkins, and to Professor C. G. Dun- lap, of the University of Kansas, for helpful ideas. I wish especially to acknowledge my indebtedness to Pro- fessor Selden L. Whitcomb, of the University of Kan- sas, for helping in the work throughout the year. Corrections and suggestions are earnestly invited and will be thankfully received.

INTRODUCTION The State Unit in Literature and the Authors Who Have Been and Are Acknowledged Leaders in American Literature. The state as a unit in the literature of the United States has not been given much prominence in the past because nearly all of the principal authors have lived in a few states in the East. Now all of the states have been populated and have organized governments and are forming a literature of their own. Each state has civil, historical and physical conditions which affect its literature. The character of the inhabit- ants of the state has an influence upon state literature. Then, too, there are the writers themselves, especially the principal ones who influence the total state literature more or less. The state as a unit in literature is being emphasized by the State Historical Societies that now collect a copy of every book that is written by its state authors.

"The history of Alabama embraces a large number of writers and authors. Many of these have possessed marked individuality and their lives and labors have re- flected honor upon the state. Their work has been of a high class and includes every department of literature,- poetry, fiction, history, law, and science."-Owen's edi- tion of Pickett's "History of Alabama." IV. Notes on State Literature. Alabama became a state during the period of the great western expansion of the United States. With prosperity came an increased activity in literature, especially through the agency of the press. Probably the first literary pro- duction of the state was a little book of poems by Wil- liam R. Smith. Mirs. Caroline Lee Hentz was the first writer of fiction. M\Irs. Augusta Evans and Miss MIary Johnston are probably the two best known authors of Alabama. Mrs. Evans' works have been translated into French and German and an Alabama writer says of Miss Johnston, "As a writer of fiction, she has achieved the most remarkable literary success yet known to Southern women." -Notes from Literary History of Alabama."

Arizona has many features peculiar to herself and of them tons of manuscripts have been written. But in all this she has developed no really distinctive literature within her- self." IV. Notes on State Literature. The best literary work in Arizona is being done in the women's clubs which are found in every settlement, however small. Some of her best known poets are: Sharlot Hall, Harrison Conrad, and Andrew Dowing. Some of her other best native authors are: De Long and Bourke, historians; Robinson, fiction writer; Poston, the poet; and Kunze author of "Cactus and Flora"-Notes from "Arizonia Historia." V.

Arkansan literature contains much interesting ma- terial about the Indians and the early travels of De Soto. For twenty years Colonel Noland was a contributor to every leading newspaper in Arkansas and to the greater papers of St. Louis. He wrote under the non de plume of "Pete Whetstone" for the New York "Spirit of the Times" under the caption of "Scenes and Characters in Arkansas." Alice French ("Octave Thanet,") while not a resident of Arkansas, still spends some time there each year and about a third of her literary work has been prepared in her home near Clover Bend. Her "Knitters STATE LITERATURE of the Sun" and "Expiation" are Arkansas stories-Notes from Historical Collections. V. Authorities. Mfr. Clio Harper, Little Rock. VI. Use in State Schools. "There is no compilation of Arkansan literature which is used in the public schools. The nearest approach to this is "I\Iakers of Arkansas History," by Dr. J. H.

A librarian in California, speaking of her literature, says: "California is rich in history and legend, but as yet has contributed very little of value to real literature." IV Notes on State Literature. The period of exploration and discovery has many accounts written by the explorers and the Mission padres. The early period of the American invasion has also inter- esting accounts as Dana's "Two Years before the Mast" and Robinson's Life in California" and others of this character, all of which, however, are more of a contribu- tion to history than to literature. The Mission Play (a pageant drama of Californian history) was written by John S. McGroarty in 191i. All Californian authors have used "local color." STATE LITERATURE Griffing Bancroft wrote "The Interlopers" in X9I7. Rose Wilder Lane is the author of a very strong novel which is entitled "Diverging Roads." Laura Warren is the author of the poem "En Repas and Elsewhere Over There." -Notes furnished by S. C. Ott, Los Angeles Public Library, and Milton J. Ferguson, Los Angeles State Li- brary. V Authorities. J. L. Gillis, Sacramento. Miss L. C. Ott, Los Angeles. VI Use in State Schools. The San Francisco public schools use "Westward Columbus," by Joaquin Miller, as a memory selection in the seventh grade. The Los Angelesintermediateschools use selections from Bret Harte in the seventh B grade. Bret Harte's "Luck of Roaring Camp" is used in the Los An- geles high and intermediate schools as a supplementary book.-Information furnished by Miss L. C. Ott of the Los Angeles Public Library.

"T] he early colonial literature was for the most part imitative and pedantic and treated of religion and of the Indian Wars. The sermons of Rev. Thomas Hooker were the principal contribution of Connecticut to this period of American literature. The poet, Roger Wolcott, was her first writer who had sufficient merit to deserve men- tion. Jonathan Edwards was one of the greatest of all of Connecticut's children. John Trumbull was her first man of letters proper. Joel Barlow was the cosmopoli- tan poet of Connecticut. Hartford because of her aggre- gation of literary minds known as the "Hartford Wits" was a recognized literary center in that epoch. Among her ministers who did literary work, mention should be made of Abiel Holmes, Chauncey A. Goodrich, Samuel F. Jarvis, Nathaniel W. Taylor, and Lyman Beecher. James A. Hillhouse, John G. C. Brainard, James Gates Percival, and Mrs. Sigourney were early Connecticut poets of sentiment and passion and it was in Connecticut that the sentimentalists of their time flourished. Early in the nineteenth century a remarkable group of Hebrew scholars appeared, who contributed largely to the advance- ment and renown of American Biblical scholarship. Har- riet Beecher Stowe, whose works have been translated into twenty languages, is Connecticut's best known novelist." -Notes from (I) "Ounderdock's History of Amer- ican Literature," (2) Bibliographies and Histories of Literature. 3 1 32 OUTLINES OF AMERICAN VI t se in State Schools.

DELAWARE II LIST OF AUTHORS Bissell, Miss Emily (Priscilla Leonard), is a poet and the author of "Spectator Articles" in the "Outlook." Canby, Henry S., assistant professor of English in Yale, is a magazine writer and the author of several books. Duer, Douglas, is the author of "The Vanished World." Pyle, Howard, is not now living, but has a national reputation as an author. Pyle, Katherine, of Wilmington, is probably the best known Delawarean author. Townsend, George Alfred, author. Tybout, Miss Ella, novelist. Ward, Christopher L., is the author of the essay "New Slavery" which appeared in the Atlantic in i9i9. -List of authors furnished by A. L. Bailey of the Wilmington Library. III Treatment of the State in American Literature. A. L. Bailey, Librarian of the Wilmington Institute Free Library, says: "Delaware has not been very promi- nent in literature." IV Notes on State Literature. We find in the early history of Delaware that the Dutch and Swedes contended for supremacy until the Dutch won. All the early accounts of her history are STATE LITERATURE written in these two languages. Henry C. Conrad, Elizabeth Montgomery, Benjamin Ferris, and Francis Vincent have a local fame, owing to their historical writ- ings relating to Delaware. -Notes have been furnished by (I) A. L.

Lord Byron has pronounced "The Summer Rose" by Wild the finest poem by the pen of an American au- thor. "The Young Marooners," by Goulding, was translated into several European languages. Ticknor's "Little Giffen of Tennessee" is said to deserve rank among the most famous war ballads of the English lan- guage. Some interesting facts connected with Georgian literature are some myths and legends of the Indians, among which we find: "Legend of Nacooche," "Legend 37 38 OUTLINES OF AMERICAN of Hiawasee."

III Treatment of the State in American Literature. "The literature of Illinois has an uniqueness and charm wholly its own. It is composed of Indian, French, Spanish, English, and border colloquialisms."-E. K. Crews, in "Illinois in Modern Literature." STATE LITERATURE IV Notes on State Literature. "Miscellaneous Poems," by William Asbury Ken- yon, 1845, was the first book of poems published in Illi- nois. Morris Birkbeck, James Hall, Robert S. Blackwell, Timothy Flint, and Dr. J. M. Peck were some of the early pioneers in literature. "Florence" and "Early En- gagements," by ivrs. Sarah Marshall Hayden, were the first books written by an Illinois woman. The Mor- mons, outside of their religious works, contributed very little to literature, "The Mormons" and "Remarkable Visions" being two of their books. "The Icarian" wai the official organ of the Icarians, who left very little lit- erature behind them. Illinois has many Indian associa- tions and legends. One may mention Black Hawk, Pon- tiac, and Kaskaskia, and the legends of "The Maid Who Married the Pine Tree" and "The Burial of Gold." --Notes from "Historical Collections." V Authorities.

Charles Estabrook says in a lecture at the University of Kansas: "Considering its youth, Kansas is remarkably rich in literary genius. Considering its age, Kansas eas- ily outstrips all other states in the wealth of its literary productions." IV Notes on State Literature. The first period of Kansas Literature, extending from I854-79, produced very little literature, although it was the formative period for Kansas novelists. During this time the first Kansas novel by Mrs. Hannah Ander- son Ropes "Six Months in Kansas," was published. The second period of Kansas literature extends from 1879-89, and was the period when the literature began to grow. But the next decade was the most productive in the lit- erary history of the state. The next decade was a period of decline, but it would seem that the present decade is to be a very productive one. Margaret Hill McCarter is the leading Kansas novelist. Her poet, Walt IMiason, is believed to have the largest daily audience of any living writer. His poems are published daily in more than two hundred newspapers in the United States and Canada. -Notes from Bibliographies and Histories of Literature. V Authorities. Professor W. H.

III Treatment of the State in American Literature. "Kentucky has produced, not one, but two really great poets-Theodore O'Hara and Madison Cawein." "One may readily see that the accusation made by a prominent man 'Kentucky is producing nothing but light literature' is wholly unfounded. The truth is, Kentuck- ians are yearly enriching American history by their con- tributionp to it."-J. W. Townsend. IV Notes on State Literature. The first Kentucky novelist, Gilbert Imlay, wrote "The Emigrants," which is said to be an intensely inter- esting novel and one of the Arest of rare" Kentucky books. James Lane Allen has said, "Kentucky has pro- duced little or no literature." Yet she has produced about seventy-five poets, of whom Thomas Johnson was the first. "The Rainbow," by Amelia B. Welby, is said to be the best poem that a woman writer of Kentucky has produced. Other well known poets are Prentice and Stanton, Cutter, Harney, Spaulding and Mrs. Piatt. The Author of "Mv Old Kentucky Home," Stephen Collins Foster, was a native of Pennsylvania and only spent a few weeks in Kentucky. The immortal masterpiece of O'Hara, "Bivouac of the Dead," is the one great elegy in American literature. This was published in 1847, and Kentucky's next great poetical work, "Ken- tucV Poems," by Cawein, was published in 1902. Mary J. Holmes' first and most popular novels were written in STATE LITERATURE and of Kentucky. --Notes from "Kentuckians in History and Litera- ture." V Authorities. Mr. Young E. Allen, Louisville Dr. H.

"Louisiana, with its romantic history, its stately river, its magnificent forests, its luxuriant vegetation, its num- erous bayous, overshadowed by secular oak trees, and its picturesque scenery on the coast of the Gulf seemed to be a fit abode for poets. They were inspired by climate, by thre nature of the country, by patriotism, by the chivalry and bravery of the men, and, above all, by the beauty and grace of the women. Our literature, therefore, is rich in poets, richer perhaps than that of any other state."-For- tier, in "Louisiana Studies." IV Notes on State Literature. The literature of Louisiana is unique in that it is written in two languages, the English and the French. The literature of the colonial period consisted mostly of official reports. One exception should be made for the earliest work in Louisiana literature, the poem "La Prise du Marne du Baton Rouge," written by Julien Poydras in 1779. The period of French literature extends from 1814-1893. Fortier, mi "Louisiana Studies," says: "The French literature of Louisiana is no unworthy daughter of that of France and will long continue to live; it is modest and simple, but above all sincere in its love for Louisiana, the United States, and France." The English literature of Louisiana is very extensive and includes a large num- ber of authors in all lines of literary activity. -Notes from "Louisiana Studies." STATE LITERATURE V Authorities. H.

Samuel M1oody, a York minister, w ho published many sermons, was the pioneer of literature in Mkaine. Up to the year I8oo nothing but religious works had been put forth by Maine authors with the single exception of one poem, "Pitchwood Hill," by Dr. Deane. Real lit- erature in Maine began about I820. Some important books published just about this time are: Professor Cleveland's "Treaties on Mineralogy"; Moses Green- leaf's "Statistical View of \Iaine"; Joseph Whipple's "History of Acadia"; and Rev. Daniel XIerrill's "Let- ters to Baptists." In i8i6 "The Village," the first regu- lar work in verse, was published by Enoch Lincoln. The region about Lovell's Pond near Frveburg, Maine, has some pretentions as classic ground for the student of American literature. It was the battle fought here that inspired the ballad "Lovewell's Fight." It is said to have been reprinted more than any other poem written before the Revolution. --Notes from "Onderdo-uk's History of American Literature" and "Historical Review of Literature in Maine" by Josiah Williamson.

IV Notes on State Literature. Her early literature was influenced by religious in- terests. The only province that could compare with Massachusetts in literary achievement was Pennsylvania. The first ambitious poetical efforts in Massachusetts were in the direction of translation. Massachusetts is a great literary state and holds a national position. Boston at any time was a literary center. Harvard University has sent her men all over the United States.-Notes from Onderdouk's History of American Literature. VI Use in State Schools.

STATE LIERATURE IV Notes on State Literature. Some Minnesota authors of the period of French exploration are: Radison, Duluth, Hennepin, La Salle, Perrot, Le Sueur, Verendrye, Carver, Thompson, Mack- enzie, Henry, Cass, Schoolcraft, Long, Keating, Beltram- ini, and Zebulon Montgomery Pike are some authors of the fur-trading period. Minnesota has an active and thoroughly organized Library Association. This Asso- ciation has done much to advance the literarv interests of the state. It also furnished books in the foreign languages to the foreigners of the state that it may educate them and make them better citizens. Some good work has been done by Minnesota authors in the German, Norwegian, and Swedish languages. In the book entitled "Master- pieces from Swedish Literature in English" are found many translations by Minnesota authors. -Notes from "Library Notes and News." V Authorities.

IV Notes on State Literature. Mississippi has contributed much more to pol- itics than to literature. With the single exception of the poems of Irvin Russel, Mississippi has produced nothing which literary men have been willing to give a place in American literature. She has many interesting Indian legends and negro folk tales, and accounts of the doings of Mississippian laws that should be collected and made a part of her literature.

I would like to see in a list by itself the names of all the productions written by resi- dents of Montana. In another section 1 would like to see anything about Montana published by other people. particularly by the known authors of the world. 1 think the number of these productions and the people who spoke about them would be a surprise to many people." 89 OUTLINES OF AMERICAN IV Notes on State Literature. In the early 30's and 40's Europeans had an interest in explorations in the Montana region and the greater part of the history of Montana wvas published in period- icals printed in England.

Although Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., was a native of Maine, still the scenes of "Forest Sketches" were laid largely in the region of the White Mountains, and many incidents and stories were taken from the people and his- tory of New Hampshire. Thomas Currier, Clara Augus- ta Jones, and Col. Arthur L. Meserve won their first recognition in New Hampshire. Alany literary associa- tions are connected with the Merrimac River. Mr. Na- thaniel Berry, in his "Last of the Penacooks," wrote of the valley and its people: Professor Hitchcock, Samuel D. Lord, and William E. Lord added scientific knowl- edge to the natural features of the river. 'A poem, "At the Falls of Namoskeag," by Allen Eastman Cross, pays a noble tribute to this river. Thoreau is the author of "A Week upon the Concord and Merrimac Rivers." Emerson also wrote of the Merrimac. AIrs. Rebecca I. Davis wrote "Gleanings of the Merrimac Valley." Writ- tier wrote "The Bridal of Pennacook." Star King made the "White Hills" immortal in literature. Mr. Francis 97 98 OUTLINES OF AMERICAN B. Eaton has written the "Story of Lake Massabesic."

William Nelson, in his article entitled "Suggestions for a New Jersey Bibliography," says: "We in New Jersey hear so much about our wonderful manufactures . and other matters of economic and financial in- terest that the high standing of New Jersey in the field of literature is too often overlooked. Do you know that we are distinguished as the "Mother of Poets .............. Of course you know we have had and have any number of New Jersey authors. Some of them have been widely distinguished in the field of literature." IV Notes on State Literature. New Jersey during the colonial period presented a barren literary field, with the exception of three names: John Woolman, the Quaker preacher; Samuel Smith, the historian; and Nathaniel Evans, the poet-missionary at Gloucester. During the cycle of years from 1783- I883, New Jersey had an increased literary activity in various lines of work. Governor William Livingston was a newspaper worker and a poet. Some early novel- ists are: A. S. Roe, author of "James Mlountjoy' Mrs. Sidney Harris, author of "Louie's Last Term at School"; and Henry B. Marford, author of "T'he Spur of Mon- mouth." "Berkley Hall" was the first New Jersey novel. Some early poets are Tobias Erick Biorck, who wrote "'Dissertatio Gradualis," and David Chandler, the au- thor of "Miscellaneous Works." The two poets of whom New Jersey is especially proud are Philip Freneau, who poured out his soul for American democracy, and Walt Whitman. -Notes from "Writings of William Nelson," State Historical Collections." 103 104 OUTLINES OF AMERICAN V Authorities.

III Treatment of the State in American Literature. A professor in the State University at Albuquerque, in speaking of the literature of New Mexico, says: "I doubt if any state in the union has really contributed more material to literature in various forms than has New Mexico." IV Notes on State Literature. The "Historical Society of New 11exico," at Santa Fe, has published about twenty numbers of its publica- tions. The Spanish element is one interesting phase of New Mexican literature. In 1904 two Biennial Reports were given, one in English and one in Spanish. Publi- cation No. i6, I9ii, is entitled "The Spanish Language in Mexico and Southern Colorado," by Aurelio M. Espi- nosa. At a meeting of the New Mexico Historical So- ciety in 1912 an address was given in Spanish by Hon. Antonio Lucero, Secretary of State. In the Historical Library we find many works on the Pueblo Indians. The Bureau of Ethnology Reports treat exhaustively of New Mexico Indians. A. F. Boudelier is the author of many novels of ancient Indian life. As for discovery and travel, there is a long list of books from Coronado down to Frederick Remington.-Notes from "Catalogue of Books in English." V Authorities. Miss Ethel A.

Pancoast, in his "Introduction to American Litera- ture" in his "Survey of Literature Since the War," says: I21 122 OUTLINES OF AMERICAN "But while we see that the West and South are growing in importance as factors in our literary history, the prom- inence of New York as a center of literature has been an undoubted feature of this recent period." IV Notes on State Literature. New York is the largest and richest city in the United States and supports many of the best periodicals and publishing houses and so through the rewards she offers to them has drawn to herself a great number of the leading critics and authors of the country. She has also had a share in the creation of a realistic school of fiction. She, too, supports two of the leading universities of the United States, Columbia and Cornell. On the East Side of New York in the last few years has grown up an interesting group of story tellers whose narratives are laid in the American Ghettos and whose writing is in Yiddish. Morris Adershlager is one of the most popu- lar of the new Yiddish writers, as wvell as David Brown, Barnett Botwinick, J. Libin, Solomon Levin, Leon Ko- brin, Jacob Adler, Yetta Serdatsky, Benjamin Salmano- vitch, Moses Osherovitch, Isaac Bloom, J. Epstein. -Notes from Histories of American Literature and Historical Collections. VI Use in State Schools.

The beginnings of literature in North Carolina had their roots deep in the proprietary period. The first book produced in North Carolina was "Lawson's History of North Carolina." Her early literature was influenced by her library system. Charleston had her literature dis- seminated by clubs. "The Clansman," by Dixon, an historical novel of Reconstruction Days, has been drama- 125 OUTLINES OF AMERICAN tized and is one of the most important pieces of recent North Carolina literature. A North Carolina critic says: "Charles McNeill, the "Charlotte Observer," is the most prolific writer of verse in the state." -Notes from (i) Bulletins State Historical Commiz,- sion, (2) "Libraries and Literature of North Carolina."'

In every field of intellectual labor their energy has been ex- erted . 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 reviewer and the historian." -"Ohio Literary Men and Women." IV Notes on State Literature. We find that the founders of Ohio were not illit- erate men and so gave their attention to reading found in libraries and to printing books, the first one being "Max- well's Code," which was published in 1760. In the field of journalism and especially history she has had many well known writers and workers, for the state itself af- fords attractive themes for the politician. Among her historians are Philip V. Ness Myers and H. H. Ban- croft, a native of the state, although not now a resident of it. Dr. Gunsaulus the eloquent orator and poet, is one of her religious workers, as well as Charles Franklin Thwing, who is the author of many religious books. The pioneer novelists were Timothy Flint (0780-i840) and James Hall (1793-1868). Mrs. Julia L. Dumont (1794-1841) was the first woman to gain literary repu- tation in Ohio. Alice Carv and Harriet Beecher Stowe STATE LITERATURE were for a time residents of Ohio. William Dean How- ells is her best known novelist.-Notes from "Ohio Li- brary Men and Women." V Authorities.

Dale, of Norman, says: "So far as I know, there has been little attempt to arrange and classi- fy the literature of Oklahoma; owing to our 'extreme newness,' our literary contribution is necessarily small, but the state is making some progress along these lines." IV Notes on State Literature. In the early days in western Oklahoma there was a certain amount of literature of a kind-songs of cowboys and of early settlers. This was followed by some serious attempts at history, biography, and fiction in the later period. On the eastern side of the state there was a certain amount of literature contributed by the Indians in early days, particularly legends and some poems. Later there came more serious attempts here also. The red man forms a basis for history, poetry, and fiction that is not to be found in any other state. Two interesting stories of Indian folklore are: "The Story of the Creek Prophet," and "The Story of the Alabama Prophet." -Notes from (I) Prof. E. E. Dale, (2) "Strum's Oklahoma Magazine."

"The year 1898 marks the beginning of the latest era of Oregon literature, when a new school started up around the Pacific Monthly Magazine. The early writ- ings were intensely serious and the early poem and es- say had a religious cast. Clarke and Miss Fearin were of this early school. At last the literature lost its sad- ness, and began to have hope and beauty significant of the dashings of the waters and the snows of the hills of the Columbia and the Williamette, for the word Oregon means, "Hear the waters." Then there is the side of Oregon literature that deals with the Indian; among these writers mention should be made of MIrs. Dye and I39 140 OUTLINES OF AMERICAN F. H.

"It is believed that no one of the states of the Union can exhibit so early, so continued, and so suc- cessful a cultivation of letters as Pennsylvania."-Thom- as L. Wharton, in "Notes on the Provincial Literature of Pennsylvania." IV Notes on State Literature. Religious controversy gave the first impulse to lit- erature. Little of the early poetry deserves to be called poetry. John Holme was probably the first Pennsyl- vania poet. Godfrey was one of the early leading poets. We find that the Germans figured largely in the early literature of Pennsylvania. W. S. Pennypacker, in his "Early Literature of the Pennsylvania Germans," says: "The Pennsylvania Dutch produced, as I have said be- fore, the largest and most ambitious work that appeared in the American Colonies. The Bible was printed in German in America three times before it was printed in English ... To them must be awarded the credit not only of our first book, but also of the earliest Penn- sylvania essays upon music, bibliography, pedagogy, and astronomy." Charles Brockden Brown, of Philadelphia, has the honor of being the first American to devote him- self exclusively to literary work. -Notes from (i) "Early Literature of the Pennsyl- vania Germans," (2) Onderdouk's History of American Literature."

In the early history of Rhode Island we find George Berkeley exerting an influence in all lines of activity, as well as in literature. He was connected with the "Lit- erary and Phiiosophical Society of Newport. This society was founded in 1730. "Alciphron," the largest and most popular of his works, was written while he was a resident of Newport. The people of Rhode Island were interested in literature and as early as 175o estab- lished the Redwood Library. -Notes from Historical Collections.

Wanchope says: "The Palmetto State has made a splendid contribution to the political and military history of the country; her share in its liter- ary history is almost equally important and should be a source of just pride and gratulation." IV Notes on State Literature. Charleston wras at one time the literary center of America. The early literature of South Carolina was distinctively imitative of the literature of England and even after literary independence was attained, still in many respects it was very much like that of the mother country. The literature of South Carolina is essentially aesthetic or political. "The state has contributed to the national literature two poets of the first rank: Hayne and Timrod, and at least six of the second: Miss Popas, Mrs. Dargon, Legare, Grayson, McKinley, and Sass. She has furthermore produced one novelist of national importance: Wm. Gilmore Simms."-From "Writersof South Carolina." Authorities. Wm. W. Ball, Columbia E. L.

IV Notes on State Literature. South Dakota has prod uiced some literature in aI lines of activity. Her philosophical writin-s have received favorable comment, especially the NTvorks of Dr. Logan and Dr. Wenzlaff. The Indian forms the background for one interesting phase of her ii erature. The chief contributions in philology have to do with the language of the Sioux Indians. One especially unique book is "Woon- spi Itakihna,"-the Book of Proverbs tranwlated into the Dakota Indian language by Rev. John B. Renville, a mixed-blood Indian. -Notes from (i) "South Dakota Literature," (2) "The Sunshie State." V Authorities. 0. WV. Coursev, MIfitchell Doane Robinson, Pierre VI Use in State Schools.

England, France, Canada, besides New England and the Great Weest, are bearing enthusiastic testimony to the worth and interest of the literary output of Texas in the present time."- David Fonte Eagleton. 'V Notes on State Literature. The literary history of Texas may be divided ac- cording to very irregular lines of social life thus: the times of the pioneer, a period of exploration and settlement to 1836; a formative or constructive period to i869; and an industrial and cultural period to the present. The lit- erature of Texas has always been a reflection of the life of the people and is unique in that it has never had an in- fantile period. There are six hundred writers, either living within the state or writing about it. Sam Houston, David Crockett, -Mrs. Ray, and MSIrs. Hally were some verv earls Texas writers. Augusta Evans, Amelia Barr, Capt. Mayne Reid, Sidney Laniei, Opie Reed, Octave Thanet, and Harry Flash are among those who have vis- ited Texas and have written of it.-Notes from "Writers and Writings of Texas." i65 i66 OUTLINES OF AMERICAN Mrs. Larry Chittenden, Miss Katie Daffan, David Fonte Eagleton, H.

In Utah we come upon a series of interesting social phenomena, where the founding of the state grew out of STATE LITERATURE the founding of a new religion. Mormonism has given a peculiar touch to much of her literature. -In early history we have the fables of the Baron la Houtan, writ- ten in i869, to which some refer for the first information of the Great Salt Lake. Susa Young Gates is probably the best known Utahian author. -Notes from "Journal of History" a quarterly publication in Iowa on Mormon- ism, 19IO. V Authorities.

IV Notes on State Literature. Early literature in Virginia was influenced by her aristocratic population. The negro had his place in Vir- ginian literature. The poetical beginnings in the early colonial period began in translations. "Hearts of Oak," written by David Garrick in 1766, was the first literary work of importance composed in America. During the Revolutionary Period her literature was mostly a war literature and many of her authors were soldiers. The novels of the period before the Civil War were historical narratives that hardly ever had any critical spirit. Dur- ing the Ante-bellum Period political aggressiveness and sectional pride can be seen in her literature.-Notes from Histories of American Literature. V Authorities. Earl G.

There are many writers who have won I8i 182 OUTLINES OF AMERICAN fame for themselves and honor for their state."-Mary Weeks Atkeson, in "Development of Literature in WVest Virginia." IV Notes on State Literature. There are four periods of West Virginian literature which correspond in a rough way to its historical periods. The first extends from 1669-1823 and is the Period of Exploration and Travel. The literature of this period consisted of diaries and journals, folk songs, and wild and improbable stories that laid the foundation for later literature. The Period of Reminiscences of Indian WVars and Early Literature, 1823-1861, was the period when real literature began and the first book of verse, "The Widow of the Rock," by Margaret Agnew Blennerhas- sett, the first drama, 'Logan the Last of the Race of Shibellemus," by Doddridge, and the first novel, "The Tennesseean," by Anne Royall, were published. The Period of Civil War and Reconstruction extends from I86i-1885. There is now a decided change in literature into which the spirit of war enters, for the writers for the most part were participants in the struggle. So we have the Civil War tales, "Four Years a Soldier," by David E. Johnson, and the "Flying Gray-Haired Yank."' Much verse was written during this period. The Period of the Development of the State extends from i865-I913. We now find many poets and novelists and many books giving sketches of the mountain people, as "Among Moonshiners," by Geo. W. Atkisen, and "Dwellers in the Hills," by Davisson Post. -Notes from "The Development of Literature in West Virginia." Mlary Meek Atkeson. V Authorities.

IV Notes on State Literature. Wisconsin has made valuable and permanent con- tributions to historical ltterature. Some of her best known historians are: Dr. Reuben Thwaites, Pro- fessor Frederick J. Turner, Dr. Charles Kendall Adams, Professor William Francis Allen, Consul Willshire Bat- terfield. Wisconsin has put forth some novels of average merit. The first novel, "Garangula, the Ougna-Hanwa Chief," was published anonymously in 1857. Eben E. Rexford wrote "Silver Threads Among the Gold" and S. Fillmore Bennett wrote "In the Sweet Bye and Bye," two songs that have won national circulation. "Bill" Nve was a humorous writer. Milwaukee, in the early 50's, had a large German population, so many of whom gave their attention to literature that \.Iilwaukee was called the "German Athens of America." Madame Mathilde Anneke Konrad Krez, Edmund Maerklin, Ernst Anton Zuendt, Augustus Steinhin, Rudolph Puch- ner, and Henrieus Von See are well known poets.
