Abstract
| Hamlin Garland, who was born in West Salem, Wisconsin, spent !our
or five months each year !or twenty-two years of his adult life in his
native village from 1893 to 1915. While Garland was in the community, he
was regarded by rnany townspeople as an eccentric individual who was aloof
and unfriendly, and who cared very little !or his CO!I'l!Tlunity. Garland
himself struggled between a strong desire to become closely identified
with the local people and his inability to relate to them and become an
accepted member o! the village. |
