This sequel to Garland's acclaimed autobiography, "A Son of the
Middle Border, "continues his story as he sets out for Chicago and
settles into a Bohemian encampment of artists and writers. There he
meets Zulime Taft, an artist who captures his heart and eventually
becomes his wife. The intensity of this romance is rivaled only by
Garland's struggle between America's coastal elite and his
heartland roots. "A Daughter of the Middle Border" won the Pulitzer
Prize in 1922, forever securing his place in the literary canon.
This account is the true coming-of-age odyssey of a farm boy who -
informed by the full brute force of a homesteader's life on the
vast unbroken prairie - would become a pre-eminent American writer
of the early 20th century. Pulitzer Prize winner Hamlin Garland
recounts in this captivating autobiography his journey from a rural
childhood to the study of literature and the sciences in Boston,
his vital connections with such inspirations as William Howells and
eventually his reclaimed sense of identity as a writer of the
Midwest's beautiful yet hard land.
