Republished here for young readers and collectors of Americana, The Works of Eugene Field is sure to delight audiences young and old. Volume I of this twelve-volume set, A Little Book of Western Verse, includes a biography and memorial of Field by his brother, Roswell Martin Field, and more than 200 pages of poetry. EUGENE FIELD (1850-1895) was an American author known for his humorous essays and children's poetry. Interested in many subjects and unable to decide what to do with his life, Field attended three colleges-Williams College, Knox College, and University of Missouri-tried his hand at acting, law, and journalism, and traveled Europe before meeting his wife and becoming city editor for the St. Joseph Gazette in St. Joseph, Missouri. He wrote and edited for several newspapers, establishing himself as a humor writer and publishing poetry. He died of a heart-attack at 45.
