Excerpt from Artemus Ward (Charles Farrar Browne): A Biography and Bibliography The plan of writing a life of the genial showman had long been in mind. The delay in getting it under way was due to the hope of securing several hundred letters, written to Charles A. Shaw of Boston, who told me they contained much that was funnier than any thing ever printed from the pen of A. W. He said he had given them to Mrs. Shaw, who Cherished the idea of making a book out of the material, and he would have to await her pleasure. He died in 1908. Mrs. Shaw survived until 1916, but after her death, though most diligently sought, no trace of the letters could be found. I write, therefore, belatedly and to a new generation, more for the purpose of adding to the annals of Amer ican literature than of reaching a wide circle, and of giving to present-day readers some record of the life and personality of the gentle jester at whose out pourings their fathers and grandfathers laughed so uproariously.

Charles Farrar Browne (April 26, 1834 - March 6, 1867) was an American humor writer, better known under his nom de plume, Artemus Ward, which as a character, an illiterate rube with "Yankee common sense", Browne also played in public performances. He is considered to be America's first stand-up comedian. His birth name was Brown but he added the "e" after he became famous. Browne was born in Waterford, Maine. He began his career as a compositor and occasional contributor to the daily and weekly journals. In 1858, in The Plain Dealer newspaper (Cleveland, Ohio), he published the first of the "Artemus Ward" series, which, in collected form, achieved great popularity in both America and England.
