Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Missouri Historical Review, Vol. 16: October, 1921-July, 1922 Walter B. Stevens, author and journalist, is the most popular historical writer in Missouri. Mr. Stevens has over a score of books to his credit and has recently published a Centennial History of Missouri. He has held several important public positions, including the secretaryship of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis. He is president of the State Historical Society. His home is in St. Louis. Wiley Britton, author, public official, and Civil War veteran, is a native Missourian. Born in Newton County in 1842, he has spent much of his life in western and southwestern Missouri. From 1871 to 1905 he was special agent of the War Department and later special examiner of the Bureau of Pensions in investigating war claims in Missouri, where he examined fifteen thousand witnesses. Mr. Britton is the author of several valuable works on the Civil War, among which are The Civil War on the Border (2 vols.) and Memoirs of the Rebellion, 1863. George F. Thomson, journalist, is assistant editor on the staff of St. Nicholas. Mr. Thomson was born and reared in Craig, Missouri. Following his graduation at Northwestern University (111.), he did journalistic work in Chicago and Boston. In August, 1917, he enlisted in the Royal Flying Corps, went to France, served as a lieutenant and pilot until June, 1918, when he was shot down and made a prisoner. He was later repatriated and in 1919 was discharged with the honorary rank of lieutenant in the Royal Air Force. E. M. Violette, author and teacher, is professor of history in the Northeast Missouri State Teachers College at Kirksville. Professor Violette is the author of several historical works, his latest compilation being A History of Missouri. He has contributed a number of valuable articles to The Missouri Historical Review, and has done much in the cause of State history. William G. Bek, a native Missourian, is head of the department of Germanic languages in the University of North Dakota. His contributions, brochures and translations relating to German settlements in the United States place him among the highest authorities in this line of historical research. His translation of "Duden´s" Report, lately published in the Review, is regarded by scholars as one of the most important contributions to western history that has appeared in recent years. John N. Edwards (deceased), one of the most widely known journalists of Missouri, was a member of Shelby´s expedition to Mexico. He is regarded by some competent authorities as having been the greatest master of journalistic writing that the State has produced.
