“She finds that exercise does not improve her spirits.”
American artist Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944) created elegant pen and ink illustrations that were evocative of American life. He was best known for his creation of the Gibson Girl, an iconic representation of the beautiful and independent Euro-American woman at the turn of the 20th century. His wife, Irene Langhorne, and her four sisters inspired his images. He published his illustrations in “Life” magazine and other major national publications for more than 30 years, becoming editor of “Life” in 1918 and later owner of the magazine. [Source: Wikipedia]

During his career, he produced nearly 900 pieces of art including calendars, greeting cards, and magazine covers and illustrated several books still sought after today: for example, Eugene Field’s “Poems of Childhood” (1904), “Arabian Nights” (1909), “A Wonder Book and Tanglewood Tales” (1910), and “The Knave of Hearts” (1925). Parrish is said to have earned over $100,000 per year by 1910, when homes could be bought for $2,000.

This issue of Life contains an unpublished manuscript by Mark Twain, “Huck Finn & Tom Sawyer Among the Indians,” in which American fiction’s most famous boys set off on a wild adventure they never finished.
From the magazine editor’s introduction to the piece:
“From his summer retreat near Elmira, N.Y. on July 6, 1884, Mark Twain sent his business manager a request for some books – ‘personal narratives of life and adventure out yonder on the Plains and in the Mountains. I mean to take Huck Finn out there.’ The books came and on July 15 Twain noted in his journal that he was writing about Huck and Tom Sawyer ‘among the Indians 40 or 50 years ago.’
“The boys’ adventure is a vivid tale of captivity, torture, murder, pursuit and vengeance – all classic elements in western fiction, in this case enhanced by the master hand of America’s greatest story-teller. But Twain never finished it. After 18,000 words the story simply breaks off in mid-sentence, never to be completed and never, until now, to be published . . .”
