A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF
NEWSPAPER REFERENCES BY & ABOUT
HAMLIN GARLAND, BEGINNING 1885
Compiled & Edited by Lonnie E. Underhill
This study has been drawn liberally from the Internet web-site Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers, 1836 - 1922, which is sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Library of Congress. I have also included newspaper citations from several notable biographical works on Hamlin Garland by Donald Pizer, Jean Holloway, and Keith Newlin. Initially, there are 4,205 citations in this study.
The purpose of this newspaper chronology is two-fold: First, it serves as an obvious beginning point for Hamlin Garland scholars of varying levels of interest in Garland's numerous achievements that found their way into the newspapers of his day.
As Keith Newlin stated in his biography, Hamlin Garland, A Life, when Garland left South Dakota for Boston in 1884 to make his fortune, "he was an uncouth, ill-educated youth of twenty-four with a half-formed ambition to become a writer. When he died fifty-six years later, he knew virtually every significant writer of his day, both in the United States and England, had won a Pulitzer Prize, and had dined with presidents."
Hence, Garland was a multi-faceted personality, and he attracted the attention of journalists everywhere. Counted among his acquaintances were Irving Bacheller, Albert Bigelow Paine, and Samuel McClure who syndicated many of Garland's stories in newspapers across the country. Publishers of his fiction, poetry, and novels advertised his newly released titles in the newspapers, and newspaper editors everywhere shared news releases and articles on Garland's activities, publishing and re-published articles and stories by and about him.
Second, this chronology does not purport to be a bibliography of Hamlin Garland's published writings. Nor, does it contain all known references to Hamlin Garland that were published in the newspapers. Hopefully, this chronology will serve as a central depository to which scholars may contribute as additional references are discovered in newspapers beyond the scope of the present study.
My personal interest in Hamlin Garland developed more from an interdisciplinary approach than a study of his literature. Garland became deeply interested in the plight of the American Indians during an 1895 trip through Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. His travels that summer marked the close of an era of reformist writings about the Midwest and the beginning of a new era about the American West. Garland's reformist period changed to a period of casual, almost journalistic, travel essays that were popularly syndicated by Bacheller, Paine, and McClure. Daniel F. Littlefield Jr. and I collected a number of the essays he wrote about the American Indians, and sponsorship by the Rockefeller Foundation enabled us to produce Hamlin Garland's Observations on the American Indian, 1895 - 1905, which the University of Arizona Press subsequently published in 1976.
