Flint, Timothy 1780-1840 Clergyman; born in Reading, Mass., July 11, 1780; graduated at Harvard in 1880; became minister of the Congregational Church at Lunenburg, Mass., in 1802, but resigned in 1814. He went West as a missionary, but was obliged to give up in consequence of ill health. He then devoted himself to literature, and edited the Western review in Cincinnati, and, for a short time, the Knickerbocker magazine in New York. Among his publications are Recollections of ten years passed in the Valley of the Mississippi; Biography and history of the Western States in the Mississippi Valley (2 volumes); Indian wars of the West; Memoir of Daniel Boone, etc. He died in Salem, Mass., Aug. 16, 1840.

ade for cutting and stabbing, 8 inches long and 1 1/2 inches broad, noise, confusion, spitting, smoking, cursing, and swearing, drawn from the most remorseless pages of blasphemy, commenced and prevailed from the moment of this invasion. In 1830 Flint, a keen observer, was struck by the multiplicity of floating river monsters, keel-boats, slow boats, sleds, mackinaw skiffs, common skiffs, canoes, dug-outs, horse-boats, broad-horns, and Kentucky flats, that he predicted that the inhabitants wilncerned, the great West grew very slowly and from small beginnings. James Hall, in 1835, attempted to gather some of the traditions of the past into his Sketches of the West, and edited a magazine—The Western souvenir—and about the same time Timothy Flint began to publish his Western monthly review. Newspapers there were in plenty. About 1830, in the little city of Cincinnati, regularly appeared the semi-weekly Liberty Hall and the Cincinnati gazette, the National Republican and Cincinnati A

or yet a den of thieves but a good nurse for the farmer, did much in the third decade of the last century to stimulate emigration of a better sort from the mother country to the land of free endeavour. Possession of the soil, and the opportunity to gain more and more of it — as depicted by Crevecoeur-must always act as a stimulus to the human mind. Once reaching these shores, a mobile population would be allured to the West through the virile descriptions of the Mississippi Valley by a Timothy Flint, or through the animated sketches of life and manners by a James Hall. To the literature of travel may also be ascribed much of the attraction exerted by this country upon distinguished foreigners in seasons of stress or misfortune. Napoleon himself once spoke of America as a possible retreat. If Crevecoeur's portrait of the free and social colonist was embellished with rather too flattering circumstances, it was not the less true in presenting an ideal that the Americans have striven

d also a florid style and a vein of romantic sentiment which too seldom rings true. Legends of the West (1832), Tales of the border (1834), and The wilderness and the War path (1846) contain his best stories; he is perhaps better known, not quite justly, for such books as Sketches of history, life and manners, in the West (1835), wherein he published his wide knowledge of a section then becoming important in the national life. It is as traveller and observer, too, not as romancer, that Timothy Flint (1780-1840) has come to be remembered, though he essayed fiction as well as nearly every other type of authorship in the days when he and Hall divided the West between them as a province to be worked by their versatile pens. Many novels celebrated Kentucky, which, as the first Western state of the Union, had secured a primacy in romance, between the Alleghanies and the Mississippi, that it has never lost. Paulding, Simms, and Bird were chief among those who laid plots there. Bird's b

the vast energy hitherto employed in the task of opening the West will presently be spared from the toil of practical life, to give a good account of itself in literature. Early writers about the West. The first authors who came from the West to delight our young people at the East were. Audubon, the ornithologist, who had a way of interspersing between his bird sketches certain intermediate chapters called Episodes, usually personal narratives in the woods, beginning in 1831--and Timothy Flint, who wrote Ten years in the Valley of the Mississippi (1826), and also who wrote from Cincinnati to the London Athenaeum and had his books translated into French. These books, with those of Peter Parley (sometimes written by Hawthorne), gave a most vivid charm to the Western wilds and rivers. In The pioneers Cooper made us already conscious citizens of a great nation, and took our imagination as far as the Mississippi. Lewis and Clark carried us beyond the Mississippi (1814). About
