1923. Hamlin Garland was born near La Crosse, Wisconsin and lived in the area for nine years before his family moved to South Dakota. As an adult he lived in major cities throughout the United States but visited his birthplace often. In 1922 he received a Pulitzer Prize for A Daughter of the Middle Border, and was also director of the American Academy of Arts and Letters for a number of years. Garland wanted to write regional literature, and he is famous for his realistic portrayal of Wisconsin rural life. Son of the Middle Border is his autobiography and considered by some to be a masterpiece.

1907. An American detective-story writer, Green's many thrillers were characterized by logical construction and a knowledge of criminal law. The book begins: I am not without self-control, yet when Miss Davies entered the room with that air of importance she invariably assumes when she has an unusually fine position to offer, I could not hide all traces of my anxiety. I needed a position, needed it badly, while the others-But her eyes are on our faces, she is scanning us all with that close and calculating gaze which lets nothing escape. She has passed me by-my heart does down, down-when suddenly her look returns and she singles me out. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

1905. Another heartwarming tale from the American educator and writer, famous for her children's works including Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. The story begins: Edgewood, like all the other villages along the banks of the Saco, is full of sunny slopes and leafy hollows. There are little, rounded, green-clad hillocks that might, like their scriptural sisters, skip with joy; and there are grand, rocky hills tufted with gaunt pine trees-these leading the eye to the splendid heights of a neighbor State, where snow-crowned peaks tower in the blue distance, sweeping the horizon in a long line of majesty.

1907. The mystery begins: A city of hills with a fringe of houses crowning the lower heights; half-mountains rising bare in the background and becoming real mountains as they stretched away in the distance to right and left; a confused mass of building coming to the water's edge on the flat; a forest of masts, ships swinging in the stream, and the streaked, yellow, gray-green water of the bay taking a cold light from the setting sun as it struggled through the wisps of fog that fluttered above the serrated skyline of the city-these were my first impressions of San Francisco.

1909. Novelist whose career began in the greeting card business. The book begins: Miss Jane Jay used to think that she discovered Paul Phillips: but really and truly Doctor Lavendar saw him before she did, and so did her sister, Miss Henrietta. It was one hot August afternoon that the old minister, passing the open door of Van Horn's tavern, saw a lazy, sweltering crowd gathered inside, where, it seemed, some sort of entertainment was going on. Doctor Lavendar stopped and looked in, his hands on either side of the doorway, his hat pushed back, his face red with heat. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
