Overview

A Hoosier Holiday is a travelogue written by Theodore Dreiser, an American author and journalist. The book chronicles Dreiser's journey through rural Indiana in the early 20th century. Dreiser, who was born and raised in Indiana, returns to his home state after living in New York City for many years. He travels by train and car, visiting small towns and cities, meeting locals, and observing their way of life. Throughout the book, Dreiser reflects on the changes that have occurred in Indiana since his childhood. He writes about the impact of industrialization on the state's economy and culture, as well as the social and political issues of the time, such as women's suffrage and race relations. Dreiser also shares his personal experiences and observations, describing the people he meets, the food he eats, and the landscapes he sees. He writes vividly about the natural beauty of Indiana, including its forests, lakes, and rivers. A Hoosier Holiday is considered an important work of American travel literature, as it captures a unique moment in Indiana's history and provides insight into the social and cultural changes that were occurring across the country in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
