A history of Missouri and Missourians; a text book for "class A" elementary grade, freshman high school, and junior high school .. . ome fiction and plays, was largely in the fieldsof description and travel, biography and history. Andfinally, all of the writers followed literature as an avocation, that is as something aside from their principal work or busi-ness in life. There were few books published during theseyears and there were few men interested in authorship.However, the quality of the literature was good, since nearlyall the authors were men of education and ability. Most ofthese authors are now not widely known but their worksare still highly regarded and are read by historians andscholars. The two most widely known authors of this periodwere Henry M. Brackenridge and Thomas Hart Benton.Brackenridge was a lawyer. He traveled over much of theMississippi valley and one of his authoritative books isRecollections of Persons and Places in the West. Benton, Missouris greatest statesman, compiled a number of authori-tative books, among which was his great two volume work. A Century of Journalism and Literature 321. Thirty Years View; or, a History of the Working of theA.merican Government for Thirty Years from 1820 to 1850. The second period ofhtcrature in Missouriextended from 1860 to1900. This was in somerespects the GoldenAge of Alissouri litera-ture. It was the ageof Samuel LanghornClemens (Mark Twain), Americas greatest hu-morist, and EugeneField, Missouris great-est childrens poet. llwas also the age ofeminent Missouri writ-ers in the fields of fic-tion and philosophy, ethics and education, religion and science. As a wholeit was a period of serious scholarship. The serious sideof life, rather than the lighter and fanciful, was stressed.More than half of the better works of this period wereon such serious subjects as history, philosophy, religion, andscience. Only about one-fourth of the writers dealt infiction, still the worth of the fiction produced was high.M
