+Hamlin Garland+--short-story writer, novelist.
Born on a farm near West Salem, Wisconsin, 1860, of Scotch and New
England ancestry. During his boyhood, his father moved first to Iowa,
then to Dakota. As a boy, Mr. Garland helped his father with all the hard
work of making farmland out of prairie. While still in his teens, he was
able to do a man's work. His schooling was desultory, but he finished the
course at Cedar Valley Seminary, Osage, Iowa, then taught, 1882-3. In
1883 he took up a claim in Dakota, but the next year went to Boston and
began his career as teacher and writer.
