[edit] Works

There is more to come on the list of works, but I'm freakin' tired right now! Gamahucheur 18:14, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

OK-I've done my bit--any other T. S. Arthur fans out there? -pcmolin

[edit] Place of Birth?

Piddling small point, I know, but Who Was Who in America lists him as having been born in Newburgh, New York. Which is right? Badbilltucker 15:53, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birthplace

Arthur in a "Brief Autobiography" written for 1852's The Lights and Shadows of Real Life reports that he was born "near Newburgh, Orange County, New York." In "Godey's Portrait Gallery, #1: T. S. Arthur," published in the November 1844 Godey's Lady's Book, an anonymous author reports that Arthur was born "near New Windsor, in the state of New York." Donald Koch, in his unpublished PhD dissertation The Life and Times of Timothy Shay Arthur reports that Arthur was born in "Orange County near Newburgh, New York..." (1).

New Windsor is directly adjacent to Newburgh, but perhaps the most accurate thing to write is that Arthur was born "near Newburgh."
