S. writers have traveled the U. S. as Author Garland has. For the Boston Arena, "magazine of protest," he made many an inquiring journey through the West and South, incorporated what he found in article and story. Says he: "I had the wish to be a kind of social historian and in the end fell, inevitably, between two stools. I failed as a reporter, and only half succeeded...
