Introduction
This work is intended to continue the study begun in
Indiana Authors and Their
Books, 18161916. It will cover another half century of notably prolific Indiana
writers.
The committee responsible,
- Donald E. Thompson, Chairman
- Roger D. Branigin
- Hazel Hopper
- Gayle Thornbrough
- Cecil K. Byrd
- Richard E. Banta
undertakes to follow the rule set up for inclusion of material in the original volume; that
is to exclude textbooks, contributions to periodicals and serials, and state or federal publications
and addresses, unless the latter were obviously intended principally for publication. As in the
original, an author is considered eligible for inclusion if he or she was born in the state or, born
elsewhere, chose to spend the majority of his or her maturity within Indiana bounds.
Meredith Nicholson had commented on the extremely large literary production by citizens of the state
in his book
The Hoosiers, published in 1900, and the phenomenon had been
noted by writers in newspapers before and after that date. But in 1904 or 1905 a professor of
English literature at Wabash College, a man of Eastern background (as professors of English
literature tended to be in that day) issued a statement to one of his classes. "If,"
he said, indicating some doubt by his inflection, "there actually was such an excessive
tendency on the part of Indiana residents to commit their thoughts to the printed page, it was
probably a result of the meeting on Indiana soil in the eighteenth century of the widely disparate
French, English and Indian cultures." This reasoning has been clearly demonstrated to be
erroneous--nevertheless the professor's statement served a purpose. Lee McCanliss, one of his
students, pondering it forty years later, became so intrigued with the theory that he proposed and
financed the original 1816-1916 study. In the original work only one writer of French connection
appeared and she had only married the descendant of an early French family: there was only one
Indian, Chief Simon Pokagon, and though unquestionably Indian, the Chief was less than an inspired
writer.
Probably the best of the current Indiana writers of fiction are producing books which sell in the
range of those of Tarkington, Nicholson, McCutcheon, Phillips and their contemporaries. If no single
novel has yet quite received the enthusiasm, even worship, that was the share of General
Wallace's
Ben Hur, we must remember that this opus has unusual
advantages. As Abe Erlanger is reported to have said while producing the elaborate stage version,
"I'm not worried, it can't fail; no play whose cast includes both Jesus Christ and
a live horse race could be anything but a success."
Modern Hoosier novelists have not yet produced characters who achieve the universal recognition that
fell to the share of either Penrod Schofield or those prizes of sugared juvenile female rectitude,
The Girl of the Limberlost and
The Little
Colonel. No modern Hoosier has as yet achieved the geopolitical distinction of inventing
a complete country that can match Graustark in fame. In these matters current writers fa'll
short of their predecessors: in winning top-flight literary prizes, making book-club selections, and
keeping their names consistently on the best-seller lists they more than hold their own, not only
against the Indiana field of a half century ago but in competition with writers of the outlands as
represented by the other states, regardless of size of population. So, this volume will demonstrate
that the Indiana literary mill continues to grind away. And its product is only devoted to producing
fiction in a small percent. A scanning of the titles listed here wi'll show numbers of works
devoted to history, biography, economics, poetry, the arts, sciences (and not all to those ordinary
old sciences described as "physical" and "natural," not by any means: it
was a Hoosier professor who, in effect, discovered sex a few decades ago and rocked some segments of
the reading public with his works
Sexual Behavior in the Human Male and
Sexual Behavior in the Human Female). There is a considerable devotion
to religion also and in fact to every other conceivable category of subject matter including, no
native will be in the least surprised to learn, moral rectitude, in which as a people we Hoosiers
undoubtedly excel!
But why continue to boast of our achievements when they are all described hereafter and may more
modestly speak for themselves? We give you herewith
Indiana Authors and Their
Books, 1917-1966.
R. E. BANTA, FOR THE COMMITTEE
Preface
It has long been said that Indiana has produced more than its share of people who liked to write.
Mention of Indiana authors has been made in many publications. In Indiana Authors and Their Books,
1816-1916, Richard E. Banta indicates that William T. Coggeshall quoted about thirty Indiana writers
of verse in his Poets and Poetry of the West (1860). Ora Cole Briscoe lists many people in Indiana
Fiction Before 1870. In 1934 Edward Weeks compiled a list of American books that have had the
largest sales since 1875; five of the titles were written by Indianans. A master's thesis at
the University of Notre Dame entitled A Bibliographical and Biographical Dictionary of Indiana
Authors, written by Thomas J. Barry just after World War II, contains hundreds of names.
Banta's book lists about 950 Hoosier authors and this volume supplements it with 2,751 authors
for a later period.
The numbers mean very little because there is nothing with which to compare them, but there is
another measure that tells something about Hoosier writing. Banta describes a study made by John
Moriarty based on the best-seller lists in Alice Payne Hackett's Fifty Years of Best Sellers,
1895-1945. Moriarty noted the ten best-selling novels of each year, determined each author's
native state, and assigned a point system to the books. When the points were totaled New York state
was first (218); Indiana, second (213); and Pennsylvania, third (125). In order to see what had
happened in more recent years, the study was extended by using Hackett's Seventy Years of Best
Sellers, 1895-1965, and following the same point system used by Moriarty. In the fiction category,
New York state was first (460); Indiana, second (288); and Pennsylvania, third (212). For nonfiction
Indiana was in eighth place, but when fiction and nonfiction were combined Indiana remained in
second place.
In the introduction to his book, Banta comments on the literary output of Indiana and says
"later there must be supplements and additions, and even then the story will be far from
told." The present volume is the result of that statement. After the editor made a number of
inquiries about the advisability of compiling a fifty-year supplement and received positive
responses, work began in the spring of 1970. Funding for collection of the
data has been provided through the Indiana State Library by a grant from Title III of the Library
Services and Construction Act from the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.
Publication and distribution costs have been financed by a grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc., and
personal gifts from Roger D. Branigin, Richard E. Banta, Parrish Fuller, and Cecil K. Byrd.
In general, the criteria for this volume are the same as those for the original volume. To be included an author must be born in Indiana or
have lived half of his or her life in the state. Since this is a fifty-year supplement, the authors
must have had at least one book published by 1966. Authors from the earlier period are included if
they were not located for the original volume. Types of publications excluded in addition to those
mentioned in the introduction are pamphlets of less than twenty-four pages, duplicated works,
genealogies, unpublished manuscripts, laboratory manuals, problem books, spellers, and books that
have been compiled or edited unless they contained extensive notes or original writing by the
compiler or editor. Because of limited time, very few books have been examined; therefore, some
titles in the excluded categories, particularly textbooks, may be listed by mistake.
Since it is the purpose of this volume largely to identify writers, only brief biographies have been
written. Biographies have been obtained from biographical dictionaries and individuals, but the main
source of information has been the resources of the Indiana Division of the Indiana State Library.
Since the biographies have been written by several people, a certain uniformity has been adopted
with regard to details but no attempt has been made to greatly alter the individual writer's
style. Positions listed are those last known as taken from the sources of information used for the
biography. Bibliographies have been compiled from The National Union Catalog (Library of Congress),
the card catalog of the Indiana State Library, and the source of the biography. The National Union
Catalog has been checked through 1970 and books published after that year have been included only if
they were found in other sources. If some titles are missing, it is because (i) they were not
included in the sources already mentioned, (2) error by the compiler, or (3) they are part of the
excluded categories previously indicated. For those books listed, a reasonable attempt has been made
to procure the place and date of publication. Birth and death dates of authors have been located
whenever possible.
The names of authors have been obtained in several ways. In the spring of 1970 a letter was sent to
all academic, public, and special libraries in Indiana and to all local historical societies in the
state. At the same time a news article was sent to all newspapers in the state and notes were placed
in Focus ON INDIANA LIBRARIES, INDIANA HISTORY BULLETIN, LIBRARY OCCURRENT, and NEW YORK TIMES BOOK
REVIEW. A follow-up story was sent to the same newspapers about two years later. The lists of
Indiana authors in all issues of LIBRARY OCCURRENT and the complete file of names used by Arthur
Shumaker for A History of Indiana Literature have been checked. In the 1930s the Indiana Historical
Society collected a register of names of Indiana authors from the publications that are listed on p.
xiv. Biographical sources on the same page have been checked for Indiana authors during the present
project.
There is still much that can be done in recording the writing of Hoosiers and the literature of
Indiana. Other supplements may follow this volume; hundreds of additional names have already been
collected for this purpose. Another project that should be considered is gathering information about
people who may not have written books but who have written poetry, drama, short stories, and similar
material that has been published in periodicals, newspapers, and as parts of books.
There are many people to thank for helping with this volume but space permits naming only a few. The editorial committee, listed on a
separate page, determined the overall policies. Librarians, newspapers, and many individuals around
Indiana and elsewhere have supplied names and biographical information. Richard E. Banta has been a
capable adviser on all phases of the project. Hazel Hopper read the preliminary manuscript and
helped locate difficult information. Ida Mae Miller, Martin F. Barlag, and Mrs. Charles O. Yount
have supplied many names and biographies. Dr. Thaddeus Seymour, president of Wabash College, has
made helpful suggestions and has been generous in granting time to the editor for compiling the
volume. The staff of the Indiana Division of the Indiana State Library has supplied much material
and has answered many questions. In the early stages, Mrs. Paul Husting, Mr. and Mrs. William
Kovacs, and Mrs. Donald Herring helped collect information and did considerable writing. During the
last two years, Marilyn Gannon has written biographies and proofread the manuscript, galleys, and
pages. I offer special thanks to my wife for her patience and understanding during the four years
needed to complete the work.
Errors that may occur are the final responsibility of the editor and it is hoped that they will be
reported. It is requested that names of authors not included in this volume and its predecessor and
names that should be included in future volumes be sent to the undersigned.

after trying a number of sources, he undertook to correct the habit himself. Intensive

the speech of others. On March. 8, 1901, he founded the
Bogue Institute for Stammerers in

subject and for several years published a monthly speech therapy magazine,

and has lectured before many scientific and educational societies on speech disorders.

Corinne Haddox Barth on
Oct.
18, 1917, and they had one daughter,

LILLY, ELI :
1885-
Manufacturing chemist, philanthropist, and student of American archaeology and
history, Eli Lilly was born on April 1, 1885, in Indianapolis, Ind. He is the son of Josiah Kirby and
Lilly Ridgely Lilly. He attended local schools and received the
following degrees from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and
Science: Ph.C. in 1907, Ph.M. in 1935, and D.S. in 1965. On Nov. 7, 1927, he married Ruth
Allison.
Lilly's business career has been spent with the world-renowned pharmaceutical
company founded by his grandfather, Colonel Eli Lilly, in 1876. He joined the organization in 1907; was made superintendent of manufacturing two years later; served as
general superintendent, 1915-20, and vice
president, 1920-32; and was elected
president in 1932. Upon the death of his father in 1948, he became chairman of the board of directors. He was
succeeded by his brother, Josiah Kirby Lilly, Jr., (who was a noted
bibliophile and philatelist in private life) in 1961, becoming
honorary chairman. When his brother died in 1966,
Lilly again assumed the position of chairman of the board and
served until 1969 at which time he began a second term as
honorary chairman.
The two brothers and their father had long been liberal--and frequently
anonymous--contributors to public works. At the suggestion of Eli
Lilly, they set up Lilly Endowment, Inc., a
philanthropic foundation chartered for "the promotion and support of religious,
educational, or charitable purposes" in 1937. Grants
and gifts by that organization have amounted to millions of dollars besides the
continued private donations of the brothers. Animal husbandry, woodworking, and sailing
are Lilly's hobbies. He is also interested in archaeology and
history and, strangely enough, his contributions to those fields are probably known to
many who do not connect his name with his distinguished business career. Through the
Lilly Endowment, he supported the archaeological survey of the
Angel Mound prehistoric site in southern Indiana, now the property of the state. He
bought and restored to its 1823 condition the farm and
buildings of Indian trader William Conner which he later presented
to Earlham College. He has financed the midwestern archaeological
studies carried on by Indiana University and the Indiana
Historical Bureau in recent years and in 1937 he
wrote the definitive work on Indiana prehistory. He also edited
Schliemann in
Indianapolis
in 1961. In addition to receiving honorary
doctorates from Wabash College, Butler University, the University of
the South, Transylvania College, the University of
Kentucky, Union College, DePauw
University, Indiana University, the University
of Pittsburgh, and Kenyon College,
Lilly is the recipient of many other awards.
