Excerpt from The Hoosier Year: Of 366 Indiana Writers and Speakers, "Day Unto Day Uttereth Speech"

There has been no little talk of Indiana authors, yet the popular discussion and the common knowledge of them are limited to about a dozen names, and most of the others are comparatively unknown. It is quite common to hear some one ask with surprise, "Was Joaquin Miller a native of Indiana?", "Is William T. Hornaday a Hoosier?", "Was William Vaughn Moody from your State?", "Is Sarah Killikelly an Indianian?", "Can you claim Annie Fellows Johnston?" and similar questions. In this centennial year we have thought it worth while to present some of our Indiana literature to the public through the medium of a quotation from a different Indiana writer or speaker for each day in the year, and we submit the result with confidence that the extracts given will not be found unworthy the State's reputation.
