	Wharton Esherick and Sherwood Anderson
		Anderson’s dream had been to be an artist, but instead he lived as a bourgeois Ohio businessman, husband, and father of three.
		Anderson completed the first rough draft of his next novel and was seeking some quiet, cheap and inspirational getaway where he could write in peace.
		Anderson gave Esherick a set of the small chisels used to create wood cuts because he understood the need of book publishers for good illustrators and most all book illustrations of that time where done either by etchings on metal plates or by wood cuts.

	Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941)
		Regarding the second error: Although Anderson is one of the many regional writers who chronicle the changes that took place in the Midwest at the turn of the century as a result of industrialization, primary emphasis should be placed on his role as a story-teller.
		Anderson writes and rewrites his stories until he is satisfied with them, just as his narrators try again and again to tell the "real" story hidden beneath surface events.
		Since much of Anderson's fiction relies heavily on his own experiences, the best background materials for teaching "Hands" and "Death in the Woods" are primary, not secondary, sources, although excellent critical articles on both stories can easily be found by means of the standard indexes.

		Sherwood Anderson grew up in Ohio, married into a successful business family, and became the manager of a mail-order house.

		Sherwood Anderson: An American Career is the first critical introduction to this important Midwestern and American writer in over a quarter century.
		Sherwood Anderson: An American Career traces these tensions in the author's career as well as his continual search for sources of a new vitality to replace what had been sapped, he felt, by mechanization, standardization, urbanization, and conformity.
		This study also traces Anderson's continuing quest to author big works at the same time that his real strength lay in the image, the impression, the sketch, the tale, or the essay, vividly capturing feelings and impressions but rarely changes over time or complex social issues.
