PREFACE
For months past I have been working on the "State
Literature of the United States." 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
4 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 1913 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 acopy of every book that is written by its state
authors.

Treatment of the State in American Literature.

"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. Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz was the first
writer of fiction. Mrs. Augusta Evans and Miss Mary
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."

Clintock, of Pho enix, says: "Arizona is
a new land in the breeding of authors, though much has
been written of her by outsiders, who should be credited
to their homes, in every land under the sun. 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."

The best literary work in Arizona is being done in

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 Calif ornian history) was written by
John S. McGroarty in 1911. All Calif ornian authors
have used "local color."

"The 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, Ro ger 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
rietBeecher Stowe, whose works have been translated into
twenty languages, is Connecticut s best known novelist."

Treatment of the State In American Literature.
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
The first period of Kansas Literature, extending

from 1854-79, 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 Months in Kansas," was published. The
"Six
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 Mason, 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.

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 "My 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

"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
the 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
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, fn "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.

Samuel Moody,a York minister, who published
many sermons, was the pioneer of literature in Maine.
Up to the year 1800 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 1820. Some important
books published just about this time are: Professor
;
Cleveland s "Treaties on Mineralogy" Moses Green- ;
leaf s "Statistical View of Joseph Whipple s

Maine";
*
"History of Acadia" ;
and Rev. Daniel Merrill s Let-
ters to Baptists." In 1816 "The Village," the first regu
lar work was published by Enoch Lincoln. The
in verse,
region about Lovell s Pond near Fryeburg, 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.

thoroughly organized Library Association. This Asso
ciation has done much to advance the literary 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,

pieces from Swedish Literature in English"

Mississippi has contributed much more to pol

itics
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 Mississippian laws that should be collected and made
a part of her literature. William Ward is one of Miss
issippi s best poets and is the

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. Many literary associa
tions are connected with the Merrimac River. Mr. Na
thaniel Berry, in his "Last of the Penacobks," 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
Week upon the Concord and Merrimac Rivers."
"A
Emerson also wrote of the Merrimac. Mrs. 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
B. Eaton has written the "Story of Lake Massabesic.

Mrs, Harriet Prescott Spofford has laid the scenes of
one of her most famous stories upon its shores and the
poetess, Airs. Clara B. Heath, has written some beauti
ful verse connected with this lake. Notes from "State
Historical Collections."

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."

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-
1883, 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 Mountjoy" Mrs.
Sidney Harris, author of "Louie s Last Term at School" ;
and Henry B. Marford, author of "The 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 especially proud are Philip Freneau, who
is
poured out his soul for American democracy, and Walt

Whitman.

in speaking of the literature of New

Pancoast, in his "Introduction to American Litera

an undoubted feature of this recent period."

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. the On
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 \vell 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.

The beginnings of literature in North Carolina
had
their roots deep in the proprietary period. The first book
of
produced in North Carolina was "Lawson s History
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-

tized and is one of the most important pieces of recent

North Carolina literature. North Carolina criticA
says: "Charles McNeill, the "Charlotte Observer," is
the most prolific writer of verse in the state."

"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 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."

We find that the founders of Ohio were not illit
erate men and gave their attention to reading found in
so
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 (1780-1840) and
James Hall (1793-1868). Mrs. Julia L. Dumont
(1794-1841) was the first woman to gain literary repu
tation in Ohio. Alice Cary and Harriet Beecher Stowe
were for a time residents of Ohio. William Dean How-

ells is her best known novelist. Notes from "Ohio Li

In the early days in western Oklahoma there was a
certainamount 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."

Treatment of State in American Literature.
"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
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. S. W.
in his Pennypacker,
"Early Literature of the Pennsylvania
Germans," says:
Pennsylvania Dutch produced, as I have said be
"The
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.

Charleston was 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 twa 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 "Writers of
South Carolina."

says: "Though than half a century has elapsed
less
since Dakota effected ife organization by the assembling
of the first legislature, the Commonwealth has accumu
lated an extensive and respectable literature embracing
more than two thousand bound volumes, and innumerable
pamplets and broadside publications."
IV
South Dakota has produced some literature in all
lines of activity. Her philosophical writings have received
favorable comment, especially the works of Dr. Logan
and Dr. WenzlafL The Indian forms the background
for one interesting phase of her literature. The chief
eontributions in philology have to do with the language of
the Sioux Indians. One especially unique book is "Woon-
spi Itakihna," the Book of Proverbs translated into the
Dakota Indian language by Rev. John B. Renville, a
mixed-blood Indian.

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 1869; 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 Mrs. Hally were some
very early 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

In Utah we come upon a series of interesting social
phenomena, where the founding of the state grew out of
the founding of a new religion. or monism has given M

a peculiar touch to much of her literature. In early
history we have the fables of the Baron la Houtan, writ
ten in 1869, 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

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

"Altogether, West Virginia has reason to be proud

Weeks Atkeson, in "Development of Literature in West
Virginia."
IV
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 Wars
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
1861-1885. 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, Tour 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 1865-1913.
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 by Davisson Post.
