He attended Phillip Exeter Academy and then Harvard Medical School. Mitchell then went to France to study architecture and returned to Boston where he worked in architecture for several years. Dissatisfied with architecture, Mitchell went back to Paris to study painting and etching at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. Eventually Mitchell settled in Washington Square in New York and began his career as an illustrator and etcher. Fascinated with etchings and drawings, he took his life savings and founded Life Magazine a magazine of art, humor and literature which would promote illustrative drawings. Mitchell served as both publisher and editor of that magazine from its founding in 1883 through the rest of his life.

Jones moved to Jacksonville, Florida, in 1881 and established the Florida Daily Times, which merge with its rival Florida Union to become the Florida Times-Union. A decade later Jones was editor of St. Louis Republic, St. Louis Dispatch (1895â"97) and New York World (1893â"95). He was president of the National Editorial Association.

The Old Manse, a historic house in Concord, Massachusetts. This house is a significant American historical landmark, notable for its connections to both the American Revolution and Ameri…can literature. Key Information Location: 269 Monument Street, Concord, Massachusetts. History: The house was built in 1770 for the patriot minister William Emerson. The upstairs windows overlook the North Bridge, the site where the "shot heard 'round the world" that began the Revolutionary War was fired on April 19, 1775. Literary Connections: In the 19th century, the house became a center for Transcendentalist thought. Ralph Waldo Emerson lived there and drafted his influential essay "Nature". Nathaniel Hawthorne and his wife Sophia lived in the house from 1842 to 1845, and Hawthorne described the property as "our Paradise". He later wrote the preface to his book Mosses from an Old Manse about the house and its landscape. Henry David Thoreau planted the vegetable garden at the manse as a wedding gift for the Hawthornes.
