Other: Watching the World Go By (Autobiography) Women of History ~ 1913 This book reveals some interesting things regarding captioning practice at the turn of the century. As was common practice, the book was illustrated with inserted plates on glossy stock to increase its salability.

Illustrations were instead captioned with a proper name, unless a scene rather than a head and shoulders portrait was employed, as was the case with the frontispiece: |
  Willis
J. Abbot (middle): Chapter one of Abbot's autobiography
begins with Abbot’s reminiscence of his first job as a professional journalist
at the New Orleans Times-Democrat in 1884. His only prior experience was
as managing editor of a biweekly at the University of Michigan. He opens
with a story of a gunfight between a political boss and an editor of New
Orleans political paper, the Mascotte, that occurred his first day at work.
It resulted in the editor shooting off the trigger finger of the political
boss, James Huston, “making him a pacifist for life” . Abbot’s overview
of the situation in New Orleans is concise: New Orleans journalism in those
days was a thing very different from to-day—for that matter all journalism
is. Oddly enough, it was more literary and at the same time more militant.
The first act of my editor, on opening his desk of an evening, was to take
from his pocket a revolver, as big it seemed to me as a mountain howitzer,
and lay it ready to his hand. Yet this same editor had the keenest appreciation
of literature, particularly poetry, and employed Lafcadio Hearn, then virtually
unknown, to ransack foreign periodicals and furnish a daily column of European
literary productions. The proprietor of our paper walked with a slight
limp, the cause of which I found out to be a bullet in his groin, deposited
there by a rifle in the hands of the editor of a rival morning paper, whom
he had challenged to a duel. The two papers are now consolidated, forming
the Times Picayune. But in my early days the fire-eating journalists would
have scorned to merge their feuds and hatreds simply for good business
reasons. Subsequent anecdotes include the rumored theft of the Liberty
Bell by southerners during the Cotton States Centennial Exposition which
was reported (although a false report) by all the media outlets He
claims that he was a cub reporter on the New York Tribune from 1886-1887
but later he also claims that he, along with a group of Detroit newspapermen,
purchased an evening newspaper in Kansas City in 1886. He called this experience
“an expensive school of journalism” (40). He claims to have moved to Kansas
city in this failed attempt; the dates are confusing. He gives an overview
of New York newspapers in 1886-7. He started as a cub reporter on the New
York Tribune in 1886, though he begins by enumerating the “real literary
standing” of the newspapermen writing on other papers of this time. His
initial focus is on Charles Dana’s New York Sun, and on the drinking habits
of all newspapermen of the time. Though Abbot was a later advocate of prohibition,
he does not appear to be too judgmental regarding the excesses of the time.
Abbot describes the outlook of newspapers as valuing well-written stories,
and it was normal for a writer at that time to compose and rewrite their
own stories, a practice apparently on the wane in the 1930s, when he composed
his autobiography.

| Eleanor Hallowell Abbott (1872 - 1958)
~ American author of romantic and children's books.
She was born and raised in a literary and religious family, Abbott began her writing career when two poems were accepted by Harper's Magazine in 1909. There followed a stream of seventy-five short stories, fourteen novels, and in 1936 a charming autobiography, Being Little in Cambridge When Everyone Else Was Big. Abbott's work is described by critics as "unblushingly romantic," but an interesting example of a New England writer deliberately turning away from her harsh Puritan legacy, with gay and vivid portraits of high-spirited girls and strong, sturdy young men-and always a happy ending.

 INTRODUCTION
A DISTINGUISHED Frenchman, I think it was Paul Sabatier, has somewhere said that "man is incurably religious." May it not also be said that man is an incurable gossip? We like to hear and read of the little private sayings and doings of great men and women as well as of their heroic deeds and historic achievements. Indeed, gossip in the sense of familiar chit-chat, if it be not mischievous, malevolent or unfriendly, is a most useful handmaiden of history. One can often obtain a juster estimate of great men and their influence from anecdotal literature than from the dignified and sometimes dry-as-dust chronicles of professional historians. It is the gossipy attitude toward the little events of daily life that makes the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, the Letters of Pliny the Younger, the Epistles of Erasmus, not only so readable, but so enlightening to the student of customs and manners. The work of a newspaper reporter is not given high rank by literary critics, but in his stories of the actual incidents and personalities of life the reporter creates a literature which people read with more eagerness, and sometimes, I think, with more benefit, than laboured historical treatises. Herodotus is an immortal historian partly, if not largely, because he reports anecdotes about great men who have made history. His historical characters are thus not shadowy mythological figures but men of flesh and blood. Luther was a metaphysician, and few there are who read him now. His great contemporary Erasmus, . . .

Brooklyn, N.Y. The Founding of New England (1921), which brought him the
Pulitzer Prize in history for 1922, was followed by Revolutionary New England,
1691–1776 (1923) and New England in the Republic, 1776–1850 (1926). Among
the best of his many books are Provincial Society, 1690–1763 (Vol. III
in the “History of American Life” series, 1927) and The Epic of America
(1931), which was widely translated. The Adams Family (1930) and Henry
Adams (1933) were books on the famous Massachusetts clan, to which he was
not related. Adams spent much of his time in London as a representative
of his publishers, Charles Scribner's Sons. He was editor in chief of Dictionary
of American History (6 vol., 1940; rev. ed. 1942), Atlas of American History
(1943), and Album of American History (4 vol., 1944–48), three valuable
reference works. Some of his later writings reflect his obvious distaste
for the New Deal.
Quotations: There are obviously two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live. Age acquires no value save through thought and discipline. We cannot advance without new experiments in living, but no wise man tries every day what he has proved wrong the day before. There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it ill behaves any of us to find fault with the rest of us. The freedom now desired by many is not freedom to do and dare but freedom from care and worry. "That dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for every man, with opportunity for each according to his ability or achievement... a dream of a social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position." ~James Truslow Adams |

 Samuel
Hopkins Adams (1871?1958) was a American writer, best
known for his investigative journalism. Adams was born in Dunkirk, New
York. In 1891, he graduated from Hamilton College. From 1891 to 1900, he
was a reporter for the New York Sun and then joined McClure's Magazine,
where he gained a reputation as a muckraker for his articles on the conditions
of public health in the United States. In a series of eleven articles he
wrote for Collier's Weekly in 1905, "The Great American Fraud", Adams exposed
many of the false claims made about patent medicines, pointing out that
is some cases these medicines were damaging the health of the people using
them. The series had a huge impact and led to the passage of the 1906 Pure
Food and Drug Act. In 1911 the Supreme Court ruled that the prohibition
of falsifications referred only to the ingredients of the medicine. This
meant that companies were again free to make false claims about their products.
Adams returned to the attack and another series of articles in Collier's
Weekly, Adams exposed the misleading advertising that companies were using
to sell their products. Adams was a prolific writer, who wrote fiction
as well. His best-known novel, Revelry (1926), based on the scandals of
the Harding administration, was later followed by Incredible Era (1939),
a biography of Harding. Among his other works are The Great American Fraud
(1906), The Harvey Girls (1942), Grandfather Stories (1955), and Tenderloin
(1959).

     The Girl Proposition: 1902 R.H.Russell ~ 40+ woodcut illustrations by John T.McCutcheon, Frank Holme, Carl Werntz, & Clyde Newman. George Ade's birthplace and home was near Kentland, Indiana, until he moved to Lafayette to attend Purdue University. After college, Ade moved again, this time to Chicago to work as a newspaper writer. He was a prolific writer and often collaborated with college classmate John T. McCutcheon, the renowned cartoonist.While working for The Chicago Record, his foible-laden character sketches on Artie (1896), Pink Marsh (1897), and Doc Horne (1899) began to appear, which included sketches by John T. McCutcheon. Ade was also know for his "Fables in Slang". Ade wrote his first successful play, The Sultan of Sulu, in 1902; he later went on to write Peggy from Paris (1903), The Sho-Gun (1904), and The College Widow (1904). His summer home ("Hazelden") near Brook, Indiana, was built in 1903, and Ade's hospitality in the home brought him even more fame. George Ade Quotes A friend who is near and dear may in time become as useless as a relative. A good folly is worth what you pay for it. A man never feels more important than when he receives a telegram containing more than ten words. After being Turned Down by numerous Publishers, he had decided to write for Posterity. Anybody can win - unless there happens to be a second entry. Do unto yourself as your neighbors do unto themselves and look pleasant. For parlor use, the vague generality is a life saver. In Modern Fiction: Ade is on a journey to Mars with Nikola Tesla and Mark Twain in the 2005 novel Wonder of the Worlds by Sesh Heri.  Little
known today and too-little appreciated, the works of George Ade charmed
and entertained a generation of Americans from the 1890's through the 1930's.
There is a quantity of historical information about Ade on the world-wide
web, but little of his written work is on-line. These pages are my contribution.
They offer the contents of numerous editions of Ade's fables to the modern
reader. These works were remarkable in their day, as they are now, for
capturing the impressions of a newpaperman and a skilled observer of the
commonplace in the vernacular of the day. This combination results in a
unique, eyewitness picture of America in transition from small towns and
smaller agricultural communities to densely populated, mechanised, technological
cities.
From George Ade: The Fabulous Fabulist 
George Ade: Hoosier, Author, Playwright and Humorist: Purdue University From the Gay Nineties until the early Twentieth Century, George Ade reigned as one of the most popular writers in America, his fan base ranging from the man on the street to such notables as literary critic William Dean Howells and humorist Mark Twain. Ade’s genius laid in his ability to delineate true American characters; his use of everyday vernacular blew the dust off of the late Victorian Era and brought a well-needed breath of fresh air into American theatre. He satirized all levels of society without a trace of malice, inviting America to join him in seeing itself, idiosyncrasies intact, and giving us the freedom to laugh at ourselves. Although he is best known as a writer, George Ade was first and foremost a Hoosier. His wry observations of the Midwest took place in stories that were more often than not, set in Indiana. Born in the small rural town of Kentland, Ade saw the world through the eyes of a country boy. He made no class distinctions in his writings, his city characters were stripped of their urbane veneers and his country characters were steeped in the eccentricities of small town life Although Ade’s writings fell out of public favor as America struggled through the Great Depression and the onslaught of World War II, his legacy lives on. Ade populated his writings with comedic characters lifted from the streets and front porches of small Midwestern towns and peppered the language with witty slang; characters and situations that can still be found in movies and television sitcoms. Ade’s comedic style is just as popular today as it was when he introduced it over a hundred years ago. While Ade was never considered a high-brow literary writer or a fashionably caustic social critic, he succeeded in what he had set out to do, he made America laugh. Augustus Thomas introduced me at The Lambs ... and said there had
been some controversy as to whether I was a playwright or a farmer. He
said he had investigated and learned that in Indiana I was regarded as
a playwright and in New York City I was known as a farmer.
