[编辑]Early life

Born in Pine Grove, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, he took a job as editor of a local weekly newspaper, the Patton Pennsylvania Courier, when he was just nineteen. In 1911 he moved to Cleveland, Ohio and became the private secretary to a wealthy manufacturing family. He subsequently founded a juvenile magazine before moving to Albuquerque, New Mexico, for his health in 1928.

Some of his works, including The Sea of Grass and The Light in the Forest, were later turned into films. The Town, the third installment of his Awakening Land trilogy, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1951.

His 1960 The Waters of Kronos, an autobiographical novel, received the National Book Award.

Some of his novels [The Trees (Raan), The Fields (Shiwaar), The Town (Gaav) and The Light in the Forest (Jangalaateel Prakash)] have been translated into Marathi by G. A. Kulkarni, for a project initiated by USIS in India to bring fine American writing into Indian languages.
