About this listen

 In the realm of autobiography, few narratives resonate as powerfully as Mr. Garlands story of his life. I would place it among the finest works of its kind in literature. This tale reveals the poets profound understanding of the immense struggle between humanity and nature, capturing the relentless toil and ingenuity required to wrestle beauty and sustenance from the earth. With a heart that oscillates between disdain and deep affection for the West, Garlands journey unfolds as both a tribute to a generation and an unparalleled epic of American experience. As you delve into his life story, youll discover a rich tapestry of emotion and insight unlike any other. (Introduction by William Dean Howells, New York Times review, August 26, 1917)
