Kit, the Arkansas Traveler
''Kit, the Arkansas Traveler'' or ''Kit, the Arkansas Traveller'' (or, in its initial version, ''Down the Mississippi'') is a stage play written in 1868 (and later reworked) for the American actor Francis S. Chanfrau. It is one of the landmarks of that century's American genre of border drama.
== Creation ==
Chanfrau conceived a drama to star himself, and in 1868, he paid $300 to Edward Spencer, generally understood to have been for fulfilling (under the title ''Down the Mississippi'') Chanfrau's commissioning of such a work.〔Roger A. Hall, (''Performing the American Frontier, 1870-1906'' ), pp. 20, 44, Cambridge University Press, 2001〕 Thomas B. DeWalden did further work on the play, and it opened in Buffalo, N.Y. in the first third of 1869. (By that time it had the title that names the lead character, offering the publicity benefit of evoking the decades-old fiddle tune "The Arkansas Traveler" and a dialogue of the same sort that had generally been associated with the tune; both of those are indeed features of the version that would be taken to New York City.) It was poorly received, however, and Chanfrau prevailed on his friend, theatrical entrepreneur Clifton W. Trayleure, to make further revisions.
The New York opening in May 1871, giving author credit to Spencer and DeWalden, was successful, and he logged some 300 performances across the country, generally crediting either Spencer alone, or Spencer and Trayleure jointly.
