A Fine book in a Good dust wrapper. Hamlin Garland (1860-1940) was an American author. He wrote a number of novels, short stories, poems, and essays. He is perhaps best-known for his novels featuring depictions of Midwestern families and culture. Excerpt from the front flap of the dust wrapper: "In this volume, Mr. Garland carries forward his reminiscences--begun in 'Roadside Meetings' and continued in 'Companions on the Trail'--from 1913 to 1923. Drawing from his diaries of the period, he recounts lively tales of his association with such outstanding men and women as Carl Akeley, Zona Gale, Mark Sullivan, John Masefield, George Arliss, Ellen Glasgow, Amy Lowell, John Galsworthy, William Allen White, Rudyard Kipling and Sir James Barrie.".
