	Our Land, Our Literature: Literature - James Whitcomb Riley
		James Whitcomb Riley was born in Greenfield, worked in Anderson, and spent most of his life in Indianapolis.
		Born in 1849 in the village of Greenfield, Indiana, which was then nestled in an oak and poplar forest east of Indianapolis, Riley was the son of a lawyer who discouraged young James’ inclination to write poetry as being “too visionary” (Riley 1: 8).
		When Riley examines human relationships with nature, he occasionally reveals an ethic that ultimately subjugates humans to natural forces, as is the case in “The Wind,” in which a personified wind declares, as the poem’s refrain, “I am the Wind, and I rule mankind...” (1: 222-28).

	Riley Bio
		James Whitcomb Riley was born in a log cabin on October 7, 1849 in the little village of Greenfield, fast in the lap of Indiana's farmland but then still hidden in primitive oak and poplar forest.
		Riley's own parents had Hoosier Deutsch blood and out of the depth of sorrow Riley could speak their dialect to mourn "Dot Leetle Boy of Mine." Riley was sometimes called a "dialect singer" because he mastered the most telling expressions of those he heard.
		Although Riley's pieces were picked up from one newspaper to the next and were much copied around the country, Riley felt his reputation as a poet had no chance because he came from the American "frontier" Midwest and not the East.

	Indiana Historical Society
		One of the most popular poets in American history, James Whitcomb Riley was born in Greenfield, Indiana, the second son and third of six children raised by Reuben A.--a Civil War veteran and lawyer--and Elizabeth (Marine) Riley.
		As a child, Riley often accompanied his father (a noted political orator) on trips to the Hancock County courthouse, where he observed the manners and mores of country society, as well as the countrified dialect he later used in his poetry.
		Riley's characters--Old Aunt Mary, Little Orphant Annie, The Raggedy Man, Doc Sifers and Uncle Sidney--along with his sentimental style that harkened back to simpler times, struck a chord with a reading public struggling to come to grips with the industrial age.
