Download or read book In the Course of My Walks written by August Derleth and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "August Derleth (1909-1971) lived all of his life in Sauk City, Wisconsin, the town that was the source of inspiration and substance for his vast range of writing. He explored the meaning of the lives of the men and women in the village he called Sac Prairie on the banks of the Wisconsin River. And always present in the writing was the natural background - fields, woods, plants, marshes, waters, and the wild creatures of land and sky." "Derleth identified with Henry David Thoreau, and thought of his own home near the Wisconsin River as "Walden West." He used as the epigraph in his two Walden West books the quote from Thoreau on living deliberately and fronting only the essential facts of life. Derleth wrote over a hundred books in various genres based on living close to home. Especially compelling today are the writings that come from the observations of nature in his daily walks. Nature narratives, natural history essays, and philosophical reflectionsthese are the writings that make up this book, In the Course of My Walks." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book A Place Called Home written by Richard O. Davies and published by Minnesota Historical Society Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2004 Minnesota Book Award Winner The Midwestern small town has long held an iconic place in American culture--from the imaginings of Sinclair Lewis's Main Street and Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio to Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegon. But the reality is much more complex, as the small town has been a study in transition from its very inception. In A Place Called Home, editors Richard O. Davies, Joseph A. Amato, and David R. Pichaske offer the first comprehensive examination of the Midwestern small town and its evolving nature from the 1800s to the present. This rich collection, gleaned from the best writings of historians, novelists, social scientists, poets, and journalists, features not only such well-known authors as Sherwood Anderson, Carol Bly, Willa Cather, Hamlin Garland, Langston Hughes, Garrison Keillor, William Kloefkorn, Sinclair Lewis, Susan Allen Toth, and Mark Twain but also many lesser known and exceptionally talented writers. Five chronological sections trace the founding, growth, and decline of the Midwestern town, and introductory comments illuminate its ever-changing face. The result is a wide-ranging collection of writings on the community at the heart of America.
