1930. 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. Friend of almost every important American of the last 40 years, in Roadside Meetings he conveys many intimate anecdotes concerning such well-known figures as Edwin Booth, John Burroughs, Eugene Field, Stephen Crane and many more.
