Of the prominent men who have attained eminence in the
field of journalism the list is almost endless --
Colesworthy, from whose press came many popular
publications; Seba Smith, editor and author of the
famous Jack Downing sketches; Samuel Freeman, judge,
editor and author; E. H. Elwell, editor, author and
historian; Melville W. Fuller, Chief Justice of the
United States, also successful journalist; Ilsley;
Kingsbury; Foster; Berry; Holden; Lapham, editor and
historian; Blaine; Manley; Burleigh; Willis;
Fessenden; Barnes; Dingley; Haskell; Noyes; Clark;
Putnam and even the children in the most remote
disticts know the names of Heath, Holden, and Ginn. To
many of our journalists their native sttae has seemed
small a field and they have sought recognition in the
larger cities. Among those who have found a prominent
place in metropolitan journalism are the names of
Russell Eaton, Nathaniel Willis, Erastus and James
Brooks, Arlo Bates, Seba Smith, John Neal Elijah
Lovejoy, Isaac McLellan, Macomber, Herrick, Wheeler
and Minot. Special mention should be made of Edward
Stanwood, author, historian, sociologist and for many
years connected editorially with the Boston Daily
Advertiser and the Youth's Companion; Edward P.
Mitchell, one of the most distinguished Maine
journalists, now with the New York Sun; L. S. Metcalf,
editor of the North American Review and founder of the
Forum; Frederick M. Somers, publisher of the Current
Literature and the Forumn; and Frank Munsey, on the of
the most spectacular figures in American journalism.
