Thorpe, T[homas] B[angs] (1815–78), humorist of the Old Southwest, was born in Massachusetts, but lived in Louisiana (1833–53) during the years in which he wrote tales of the frontier. The best of these is “
The Big Bear of Arkansas,” first printed in the
Spirit of the Times, and from this and other magazines he collected his sketches in
The Mysteries of the Backwoods (1846) and
The Hive of the Bee Hunter (1854).
Colonel Thorpe's Scenes in Arkansaw (1858) is an anthology whose title comes from one of his stories. His service in the Mexican War resulted in
Our Army on the Rio Grande (1846),
Our Army at Monterey (1847), and
The Taylor Anecdote Book (1848). He was later an editor of the
Spirit of the Times, and served in the Civil War. His other books include
The Master's House (1854) and
A Voice to America (1855). He was also known for his vivid landscape paintings and portraits.
