He was one of the first writers to use American vernacular in humor, likely inspired by writer and critic John Neal.[1] His series with the New England character Major Jack Downing was popular after its start in 1830. Under date of November 26, 1833, John Quincy Adams records in his diary an encounter with Colonel David Crockett, newly returned to Congress, whom he quotes as saying that he (Crockett) "had taken for lodgings two rooms on the first floor of a boarding-house, where he expected to pass the winter and to have for a fellow-lodger Major Jack Downing, the only person in whom he had any confidence for information of what the Government was doing."[2] Wikimedia Commons has media related to Seba Smith.
