Book excerpt: Being a Nebraska farm boy, I grew up on a middle border between Midwest and West many decades after Garland. Yet I found much that was familiar in his memoir of rural life during the period of Western expansion, 1865 - 1900. By the 1940s, not that much had changed. Farm work was more mechanized, and gas-powered tractors had taken the place of horses. Improved roads and automobiles had shortened distances. But farm work was still hard, often grueling labor at the mercy of the elements. There was dust, manure, and mud, and whether bumper years or drought and crop failures, farm life was isolated and lonely.

Book excerpt: All of this universe known to me in the year 1864 was bounded by the wooded hills of a little Wisconsin coulee, and its center was the cottage in which my mother was living alone-my father was in the war. As I project myself back into that mystical age, half lights cover most of the valley. The road before our doorstone begins and ends in vague obscurity-and Granma Green's house at the fork of the trail stands on the very edge of the world in a sinister region peopled with bears and other menacing creatures. Beyond this point all is darkness and terror.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WITH the publication of his "A Daughter of the Middle Border," Hamlin Garland completed his record of the vanished Middle West, which began with "A Son of the Middle Border" that appeared a few years earlier. The two books form an interesting and unique contribution to literature that is distinctly American, each complete in itself, yet supplementing the other in a cycle of pioneering incident. As Hildegarde Hawthorne remarks in her review: "The better portions of the book are always those that have to do with the home in Wisconsin, the home, established for his mother in West Salem some thirty years after the family had left the little village to go pioneering across the western plains and to struggle with the elements on one farm after another, the indomitable father leading them on, with success always just beyond. It is he, who is the "Son of the Middle Border," and the first book centers around him; this one cannot be said to be to the same degree concerned with Garland's mother, though she is the Daughter of the title." * * * * * The book is largely autobiographical, the reviewer points out, presenting much that has to do with the author's developing career, his friends among writers and artists, his marriage, his life in Chicago and in Boston and New York. But always his interests are called back to West Salem where he had settled his mother in a comfortable home though the father went on pioneering. "His father spent the winters with her. But when the spring came the call of the broad plains of South Dakota, where he still owned a thousand acres and more, was too much for the old pioneer, who at sixty-odd could still broadcast all day long." "There is," says Hildegarde Hawthorne, "probably no other man in the country who could have produced such a study of American life, or done it more simply and effectively. These two volumes should be part of the mental equipment of every American, for they will help to an understanding of the country and its people, to an appreciation of what is owed to those men and women who won the lands of the West and died in harness, leaving sons and daughters to hold fast the American tradition against the disintegration threatened by a foreign invasion grown to staggering proportions. Here is the America not given to the chase of the dollar, the America of ideals and devotion which we are at times subject to doubt or to forget, but none the less an America founded four square on a mighty plan. Mr. Garland has done a good work in helping his readers to realize this precious America."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Son of the Middle Border is not just Hamlin Garland's autobiography, it is, as he says, "the chronicle of an era." Willa Cather's My Ántonia and O Pioneers! tell the story of immigrant settlers on the great western plains. The tale Garland tells is of easterners moving forever westward in search of better opportunities. It is a tale told elsewhere by Laura Ingalls Wilder. When the Dust Bowl hit, many of these families moved westward again, this time to California, in a journey chronicled by John Steinbeck and the FSA and Resettlement Administration photographers. Garland's vivid descriptions of both land and resident capture a moment in time that was, even as he wrote this volume, disappearing quickly into the past.
