If Dr. Crane was an expert in archaeology, others in the field would be well acquainted with him. Several were asked if they knew of a Dr. Crane. They replied as follows:

During his lifetime as well as after his death in 1915, Walter Crane's work was both popular and influential, especially in regard to literature for children. By 1880, children's magazines like St. Nicholas had begun to use illustrations with the strong lines and integrated text characteristic of Crane's work. His style and philosophy was widely imitated, particularly during the Art School movement of the 1890's-1900's. Direct followers of Walter Crane are difficult to pinpoint, but his ideas are reflected in the work of illustrators like Heywood Sumner, Aubrey Beardsley, and Charles Robinson. For more information about Walter Crane, consult the following sources. Items held by the University of Pittsburgh are followed by the item's location and call number.

Like Crane herself, Jean Holly came to New Mexico to start life over (Jean because her parents had been killed in an accident), though one might ask how much living an 18-year-old girl could have done. Jean’s intention was to become an artist but her talent—or rather her lack of it—forced her to find another way to make a living in order to remain in this small New Mexico town she had come to love. She’s been running her business, The Turquoise Shop, for eight years when in walks her future husband, Patrick Abbott, a tall, handsome private detective in his early thirties from San Francisco, who aspires to be an artist. While Jean shows a fair amount of independence in this book, it’s Patrick who does most of the detective work and continues to do so in subsequent books. The claustrophobic (we learn about this condition in subsequent books) Jean is around to record the cases and occasionally get into hot water, literally sometimes, doing her best thinking in a bathtub because, as she once remarked, “a bath always makes me very logical.”

Bolstered by the success of The Red Badge and his book of poetry The Black Riders, Crane became subsumed with ideas of war. He was hired to go to Cuba as a journalist to report on the rebellion there against the Spanish. On the way to the island, Crane was in a shipwreck, from which he was originally reported dead. He rowed to shore in a dinghy, along with three other men, having to swim to shore and drop his money in the sea to prevent from drowning. This experience directly led to his most famous short story "The Open Boat" (1897).

Stephen Crane will be remembered for his breakthrough novels and poetry. He was one of the first naturalistic American novelist, and opened up literature to a new kind of writing. Some of his other works include: "The Blue Hotel", "An Episode of War", "The Upturned Face", and "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky".

In addition to the Molesworth books, Crane illustrated a number of other books for children for various publishing houses throughout the 1880's. He ... wrote and illustrated at least twenty-seven books for his own three children. Most of these remain unpublished, but the sheer number of these manuscripts is evidence of Crane's devotion to his family. His sister Lucy worked with him on several projects, and what is perhaps his finest work can be found in one of these collaborations.
