Hamlin Garland is mostly appreciated today for his impressive collections of short tales; Main Travelled Roads is his most famous collection. It includes six tales and is an undisputed American basic. "Under the Lion's Paw" shows an honest, hardworking farmer victimized by the greedy landlord. Another powerful history is the semiautobiographical "In the Coulee", about a successful boy who returns from the East to find his mom and brother trapped on a poor farm, defeated in spite of their best work. "Mrs. Ripley's Trip" is a sensitive story of elderly couple resolved in their frugal country ways, with the better half determined to realize her dream of revisiting childhood displays. Rounding out the collection are "The Go back of an exclusive", "The Branch Road", and "On the list of Corn Rows". Garland didn't write "pretty" tales, but he describes exhilarating moments in the lives of these farm people and frequently highlights the strength of extraordinary characters.
