Book Description
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.

Book Description
These short stories are set in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota, or what Garland called the "Middle Border." They depict an agrarian life of exploitation, misogyny, and poverty. Garland's radical, realist stories refute romantic conceptions of the rural Midwest.

Book Description
In recognition of his achievements in literature, Hamlin Garland (1860?1940) received four honorary doctorates and a Pulitzer Prize. Keith Newlin traces the rise of this prairie farm boy with a half-formed ambition to write who then skyrocketed into international prominence before he was forty. His life is a story of ironic contradictions: the radical whose early achievement thrust him to the forefront of literary innovation but whose evolutionary aesthetic principles could not themselves adapt to changing conditions; the self-styled ?veritist? whose credo demanded that he verify every fact but whose credulity led him to spend a lifetime seeking to confirm the existence of spirits. His need for recognition caused him to cultivate rewarding friendships with the leaders of literary culture, yet even when he attained that recognition, it was never enough, and his self-doubt caused him fits of black despair. ø The first and only other biography of Hamlin Garland was published more than forty years ago; since then, letters, manuscripts, and family memoirs have surfaced to provide, along with changing literary scholarship, a more evaluative and critical interpretation of Garland?s life and times. Hamlin Garland: A Life is an exploration of Garland?s contributions to American literary culture and places his work within the artistic context of its time.

Book Description
In this gripping narrative, writer and psychic investigator Hamlin Garland recounts his experiences uncovering a buried treasure trove of ancient crosses and other religious artifacts. Along the way, he encounters a cast of characters ranging from the spiritualist medium who initially led him to the site to the mysterious figure who seems to be trying to thwart his efforts. Garland's vivid prose brings to life the uncharted territories of the human mind and the hidden corners of the American Southwest.
