About this item

A Daughter of the Middle Border (Annotated)

Includes a new introduction and biographical essay The sequel to A Son of the Middle Border , A Daughter of the Middle Border picks up quite literally the day after A Son concludes. This second volume chronicles Garland's courtship and marriage to Zulime Taft, the death of his parents and the birth of his daughters Mary Isabel and Constance. Like ' A Son ', Garland remains convinced that although he might have traveled extensively, especially before marrying Zulime, the settled lives and worldviews of his parents are typical of a generation of pioneers, and he spends a great deal of time describing them. The book perhaps should have been called Daughters of the Middle Border , as the novel is concerned not only with the life of his mother, but with that of his wife and daughters as well, all of whom had roots in America's 'middle border', that slow moving frontier in the middle of the country that persisted long after the coastal borders to either side of it were settled.
