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. Charles Henry Jones (1848 â" 1913), American journalist and editor, was born in Georgia and joined the Confederate Army during the Civil War at the age of 15. In 1866 he moved to New York, where he edited Eclectic Magazine and Appleton's Journal for 15 years. 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.
