These she wanted to picture not
at their worst, nor at their best, but
as they really are. As she worked
she would stop and ask herself con
stantly "Is this true?" She wondered
if she was seeing the colors and the
sunlight and the pioneers as they
really were, or was she looking at
them thru eyes blinded by the love
of her pioneer ancestry. Soon after
the manuscript went to the publisher
she suffered the sudden loss of her
husband. During the period of pub
lication she lost interest in the book.
Even the enthusiasm of her publish
er did not rouse her from her de
pression. She heard nothing from
the book until she opened the State
Journal one day and found some
"More or Less Personal" paragraphs
recognizing the book as a sound and
truthful interpretation of Nebraska
life and environment. She wrote her
publishers then, saying that the New
York cities could do what they pleas
ed. She was satisfied if the book was
accepted by her own people.
Mrs. Alrich gave the young authors
present a story of her literary career,
from the time she began writing at
the age of fourteen. Only one thing
she claimed for herself, the ability
to write under difficulties. She would
like to see some of her famous con
temporaries turn out copy amid the
turmoil of domestic life, the doors
slamming, loved ones running in and
out, four husky youngsters demand
ing the attention of their nfbther.
Mrs. Aldrich was born in Iowa and
came to Nebraska a little more than
sixteen years ago when her first baby
was very small. Since the death of
her husband she is free to move any
where with her family. Yet in six
teen years she has become so attach
ed to the soil of Nebraska that she
will not depart from it. Her address
closed with a tribute to the state
and its people that brought meeting
to a close with a feeling of pride a
bit like religious enthusiasm. State
