182. SLAINTE Biography and introduction to his works. http://www.slainte.org.uk/Scotauth/gibbodsw.htm

Lewis Grassic Gibbon James Leslie Mitchell was born in 1901 in Auchterless, but soon moved to Arbuthnott in the Mearns, countryside he was to make famous in his great trilogy A Scots quair consisting of Sunset song Cloud Howe (1933) and Grey granite (1934). He was fortunate, like many Scots, in an early schoolmaster who recognised a precocious talent. His early experiences were diverse and unsatisfactory: he left school early, dabbled unsuccessfully in journalism, enlisted in the armed forces (which he hated) simply to survive in the Depression, though he was to travel to the Middle East and fire his imagination with the material of his first short stories which finally won him publication in the late 1920s. A flurry of books marked the last half-dozen years of his life. Not everyone realised there were two authors producing a stream of material; there was a Scottish writer of great talent who called himself "Lewis Grassic Gibbon", a thin disguise of his mother's maiden name; there was a professional journalist and critic called "J. Leslie Mitchell" who kept an independent output of material just as professional, just as well written, but drawn from very different sources.

183. Edmonia Lewis Short biography based on the Columbia Encyclopedia. http://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0878495.html

People Biographies Entertainment Biographies L Edmonia Lewis sculptor Born: Birthplace: New York, Ohio, or New Jersey Details of her early life are uncertain. Her father was a black American and her mother an Ojibwa Indian who named her Wildfire. Lewis changed her name to Mary Edmonia while studying at Oberlin College. At the school, Lewis was accused of theft and of trying to poison two classmates. Although she was acquitted of both charges, she was not allowed to graduate. In 1863, Lewis moved to Boston and became a sculptor, specializing in abolitionists and Civil War heroes. Forever Free (1867), a marble sculpture now at the Howard University Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, is her most famous work. Lewis reached the peak of her fame when The Death of Cleopatra was presented at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. It is now in the National Museum of American Art in Washington, DC. The end of her life remains a mystery. Lewis was last reported living in Rome in 1911.

184. Sinclair Lewis - Autobiography Written for acceptance of Nobel Prize in Literature 1930. http://www.nobel.se/literature/laureates/1930/lewis-autobio.html

To recount my life for the Nobel Foundation, I would like to present it as possessing some romantic quality, some unique character, like Kipling 's early adventures in India, or Bernard Shaw I was born in a prairie village in that most Scandinavian part of America, Minnesota, the son of a country doctor, in 1885. Until I went East to Yale University I attended the ordinary public school, along with many Madsens, Olesons, Nelsons, Hedins, Larsons. Doubtless it was because of this that I made the hero of my second book, The Trail of the Hawk , a Norwegian, and Gustaf Sondelius, of Arrowsmith , a Swede - and to me, Dr. Sondelius is the favorite among all my characters. Of Carl Ericson of The Trail of the Hawk , I wrote -back in 1914, when I was working all day as editor for the George H. Doran Publishing Company, and all evening trying to write novels - as follows: My university days at Yale were undistinguished save for contributions to the Yale Literary Magazine. It may be interesting to say that these contributions were most of them reeking with a banal romanticism; that an author who was later to try to present ordinary pavements trod by real boots should through university days have written nearly always of Guinevere and Lancelot - of weary bitterns among sad Irish reeds - of story-book castles with troubadours vastly indulging in wine, a commodity of which the author was singularly ignorant. What the moral is, I do not know. Whether imaginary castles at nineteen lead always to the sidewalks of Main Street at thirty-five, and whether the process might be reversed, and whether either of them is desirable, I leave to psychologists.
