made and many a ion of toil engaged

made use of the long winter evenings
to study by the light of his log fire the
best models of English composition
that wore at his command. Books
were soarce; bat the few volumes to
be found in any neighborhood were for
the most part standard elassies ' that
the active and educated young men
fromew England and other older
and more enlightened countries had
brought with them when they came
West "to oooupy the land." ...
The conditions of life in what was
then termed "The West" were far
different from those that surround the
pioneers of the new States and Terri-
tories of the present. Then tbo for
esta teemed with life and a few acres
of oleared . land furnished sufficient
in addition to the supplies of fish and
game for the support of the people.

Our early poets' 'were found among
the farmers' the struggling young law
yers and physicians the poorly paid
editors and printers and the mothers
of growing families. Many who have
einca become famous in political and
professional fields wooed the muses
then. Fifty years ago "the West" was
not without a poetical literature nei
ther was it devoid of literary centers
and literary publications.
In the year 1789 Return Jonathan
Meigs read a poem of considerable
length and much real merit at a Fourth
of July celebration at Marietta. Ohio.
The progress of poetical literature in
Ohio Kentucky and Indiana dates
rom that time and instead of being a
plant that has grown up trad blossomed
within the last decade as asserted by a
recent Eastern writer of "vast and
various misinformation" it is more
than ninety years of age and may in
a few years celebrate its first cntury.
Tbe first magazine of the West was
established at Lexington. Kentucky
This was the Western Review a

tcribers at $3 00 per year and edited
