Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sharps and Flats, Vol. 1 "Sharps and Flats," won him recognition as the most popular newspaper paragrapher in the United States. It is a simple calculation, which the reader may make for himself. Six days of the week for twelve years he wrote what made the even column, to a line, of "leaded gate" which appeared almost invariably in the last column of the editorial page of the paper. This column averaged two thousands words. Multiply this by three hundred and thirteen days each year for twelve years, and the product is a grand total of 7,512,000 words. The odd 512,000 may be deducted for the interruptions, which occurred with increasing frequency during the later years of Mr. Field´s life, so leaving 7,000,000 words of literature, ranging all the way from the most ephemeral paragraph on a passing event to as exquisite nits of prose and verse as ever illumined the pages of a newspaper. Before coming to Chicago, Eugene Field had attracted some attention in the newspaper offices of the country by his Denver Tribune primer stories.
