James Whitcomb Riley (1849 - 1916)
James Whitcomb Riley was born on October 7, 1849 in Greenfield, Indiana, surrounded by farmland and primitive forests. The wooden planked National Road, which American pioneers and settlers used to travel to the western half of the nation, ran right through Greenfield. The area was diverse in culture, with people from many different homelands, though outwardly appearing as rough wilderness and newly settled country. The critic, Hamlin Garland, described it after a visit by saying, "To my eyes it was the most unpromising field for art, especially for the art of verse. The landscape had no hills, no lakes, no streams of any movement or beauty. Ragged fence-rows, flat and dusty roads, fields of wheat alternating with clumps of trees - these were the features of a country which to me was utterly commonplace - and yet from this dusty, drab, unpromising environment, Riley had been able to draw the honey of woodland poesy, a sweet in which a native fragrance as of basswood and buckwheat bloom mingled with hints of an English meadow and the tang of a Canada thistle." Riley's father, being a frontier politician and lawyer, named his son after an Indiana governor, James Whitcomb. Riley's mother was, of course, a homemaker, and she also wrote poetry. Riley had a difficult time academically, but possessed a talent for language, especially that of his own people. His father wanted him to become a lawyer, but Riley did not apply himself to law. For a time he traveled the American Midwest as a sign painter. He also traveled with a medicine salesman, and drew crowds by playing songs and performing impersonations of people he had met in his travels.

Timeline Born Leaving school at age 16, Riley first attempted to read law in his father`s office Approx 1870 He and some other youths, which he dubbed "the Graphics," traveled the Indiana countryside as sign, house and ornamental painters. He later joined a traveling wagon show as an advance agent. Riley returned to Greenfield and worked for the town`s newspaper. Riley joined the staff of the Anderson Democrat as associate editor Approx 1877 Frustrated at his poems being rejected by eastern periodicals (Though he was able to publish throughout central Indiana), Riley embarked upon a scheme to prove that for a poem to become popular it had to be written by "a genius known to fame." He wrote a poem, Leonainie , styled after Edgar Allan Poe, and convinced the editor of the Kokomo Dispatch to print it in his newspaper as a long-lost Poe poem. Unmasked as the poem`s true author, Riley was lambasted by rival newspapers and eventually fired from his Anderson job. Approx 1878 Under the name “Benj. F. Johnson of Boone” he began to write verse in the Hoosier dialect for the

HAPPY REMEMBRANCES of JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY Yes, Happy Remembrance of YOU James Whitcomb Riley, America's Children's Poet and the poet of the Hoosier people wherever they may be around the world. Riley is, you see, the "Hoosier Poet." "Hoosier" is not just a name for Indiana folk. No, it is the name for people who are humble before God and hardworking despite suffering all that life throws at them. They are sympathetic with the plight of others and tolerant beyond measure of race, creed, gender, orientation or social status. Each Hoosier keeps an eye out for trouble but hopes and prays that none hits him or her. The themes of the poetry of the "Hoosier Poet" reflect this kenotic outlook. For some fun "starters" with James Whitcomb Riley check out the following selections from his biography: James Whitcomb Riley: The Poet as Flying Islands of the Night by Thomas E.Q. Williams, 1999.
