    EUGENE FIELD'S YEARS AS. A CHICAGO JOURNALIST (1883-1895) Thesis for the Degree of M. A. MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY PATRICIA LILLIAN WALKER 1969 ABSTRACT EUGENE FIELD'S YEARS AS A CHICAGO JOURNALIST (1883-1895) by Patricia Lillian Walker This is a study of the historical importance and contributions of Eugene Field to the era of Chicago jour- nalism that produced such journalists and literary figures as George Ade,rFinley Peter Dunne, Theodore Dreiser, and later Carl Sandburg and Edgar Lee Masters, and such edi- tors as Melville Stone, Slason Thompson, and Wilbur Storey. Field's quick fame and definition as a children's poet has obscured his contributions as a humorist and journalist, his life-time occupation. This study re-examines Eugene Field in light of his career in journalism which reached its greatest height and importance as editorial columnist for the Chicago Daily News. It is based on the newspaper files of the Chicago Daily News, biographies, literary criticisms, and other sources of the period, and on pri- vate papers and special collections relating to Field's acquaintances. Accepted by the faculty of the School of Journalism, College of Communications Arts, Michigan State University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree.

Lavery, the first director of this project and a constant voice of encouragement in my studies, whose absence will never be wholly realized because of the thousands of lives he touched with his spirit, enthusiasm, and scholarship. I am eternally grateful for our time together. And to my beautiful grandmother, Fay M. Rhodes, who first introduced me to the yellow brick road and took me on her back to a pear-tree Emerald City one hundred times or more. I miss you more than Dorothy missed Kansas. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation would not have been possible without the educators who have pushed me to challenge myself, to question everything in the world around me, and to be unashamed to explore what I “thought” I already knew, over and over again.

  • Eugene Field - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Eugene Field - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Eugene Field(2 September 1850 - 4 November 1895) Eugene Field, Sr. was an American writer, best known for his children's poetry and humorous essays. <b>Biography</b> Field was an unusual poet. He was one of the few poets who wrote only children's poetry. That is how he got his nickname, The Children's Poet. It all started September 2, 1850, at 634 South Broadway in Saint Louis. That's where and when Eugene Field was born. He had one brother named Roswell, who was one year younger than he, and a sister who died soon after her birth. He and his brother were very close, but very different. Eugene took after their mother, Francis, while Roswell took after their father. Eugene was afraid of the dark while his brother wasn't afraid of anything. Eugene hated studying while Roswell loved it. When the boys were six and five, their mother died. Mr. Field sent them to live with their cousin, Mary French, in Massachusetts until he could take care of them. While living on their cousin's farm, Eugene wrote his first poem . He was nine then, and the poem was about their cousin's dog, Fido. At the age of fifteen, Eugene was shipped off to a small private school in Massachusetts. There were only five boys in the school, and Eugene loved leading the boys in tricks against the master of the school. Eugene went on to William's College in Massachusetts.

Time was when the little toy dog was new And the soldier was passing fair, And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue Kissed them and put them there. "Now, don't you go till I come," he said, "And don't you make any noise!" So, toddling off to his trundle-bed, He dreamt of the pretty toys. page 1 / 360 And, as he was dreaming, an angel song Awakened our Little Boy Blue-- Oh! the years are many--the years are long-- But the little toy friends are true! Aye, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand-- Each in the same old place, Awaiting the touch of a little hand, The smile of a little face.

  • Eugene Field, a Study in Heredity and Contradictions
    EUGENE FIELD, A STUDY IN HEREDITY AND CONTRADICTIONS SLASON THOMPSON CHAPTER I. PEDIGREE. "Sir John Maundeville, Kt.," was his prototype, and Father Prout was his patron saint. The one introduced him to the study of British balladry, the other led him to the classic groves of Horace. "I am a Yankee by pedigree and education," wrote Eugene Field to Alice Morse Earle, the author of "The Sabbath in Puritan New England," and other books of the same flavor, "but I was born in that ineffably uninteresting city, St. Louis." How so devoted a child of all that is queer and contradictory in New England character came to be born in "Poor old Mizzoorah," as he so often wrote it, is in itself a rare romance, which I propose to tell as the key to the life and works of Eugene Field. Part of it is told in the reports of the Supreme Court of Vermont, part in the most remarkable special pleas ever permitted in a chancery suit in America, and the best part still lingers in the memory of the good people of Newfane and Brattleboro, Vt., where "them Field boys" are still referred to as unaccountable creatures, full of odd conceits, "an' dredful sot when once they took a notion." "Them Field boys" were not Eugene and his brother Roswell Martin Field, the joint authors of translations from Horace, known as "Echoes from the Sabine Farm," but their father, Roswell Martin, and their uncle, Charles Kellogg, Field of Newfane aforesaid. These two Fields were the sons of General Martin Field, who was born in Leverett, Mass., February 12th, 1773, and of his wife, Esther Smith Kellogg, who was the grandmother celebrated in more than one of Eugene Field's stories and poems.
