As my mother's excitement over my return passed away, her condition was disturbing to me. She was walking less and less and I began at once to consider a course of treatment which might help her. At my aunt's suggestion I wrote to a physician in Madison whose sanitarium she had found helpful, and as my brother chanced to be playing in Milwaukee, I induced mother to go with me to visit him. She consented quite readily for she was eager to see him in a real theater and a real play.
We took lodging in one of the leading hotels, which seemed very splendid to her and that night she saw Franklin on the stage as one of "the three Dromios" in a farce called "Incog," a piece which made her laugh till she was almost breathless.

This is the 2nd time I've read this book, which testifies to its quality, as I seldom read a book twice.
I've lived in the Chicago area most of my life and worked in the Loop for over 20 years. In that time, I ran across Hamlin Garland's name twice.

This book continues the autobiography started in A Son of the Middle Border. The writing is superb; the content isn't as interesting as the first book. It details the author's marriage and family, his rising writing career, and the death of both his parents. The daughter of the middle border is his
I love Hamlin Garland. I love reading about his life, the people he knew, his adventures and his love of his family. His descriptions and feelings of aging really strikes a chord with me.
