By 1851 he had also moved into fiction, publishing" The Sunny Side" by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps( the mother of Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward).
In late 1851, along with his half- brother H.P.B. Jewett and partners Proctor and Worthington, he formed a second publishing business in Cleveland, which took on the responsibility of selling" Uncle Tom's Cabin" in the west.
Upon the urgings of his wife that it would sell well, he acquired the rights to" Uncle Tom's Cabin" in 1852.
It sold over 300,000 copies that same year.
In 1854, Jewett published another bestseller," The Lamplighter" by Maria Susanna Cummins.
The continuing demand for these two books required Jewett to borrow capital, which led him to have to declare bankruptcy due to the Panic of 1857.
By mid-1860 he was out of the publishing field for good.
Jewett was a brother of librarian Charles Coffin Jewett.
