The Hoosier Schoolmaster: A Story of Backwoods Life in Indiana by Edward Eggleston
"The Hoosier Schoolmaster: A Story of Backwoods Life in Indiana" by Edward Eggleston is a novel published in 1871. Based on the author's brother's experiences as a schoolteacher, it depicts rural Indiana life through vivid scenes of country schools, spelling bees, and frontier communities. The story weaves romance and conflict against authentic portrayals of pioneer customs, from battles between schoolmasters and unruly students to illiterate preachers and crude court proceedings, all rendered
in authentic local dialect. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
