"James Whitcomb Riley: Hoosier Boy" by Minnie Belle Mitchell, published by The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Inc. in 1962, offers a detailed exploration of the life of James Whitcomb Riley, a celebrated American poet known for his work in the late 19th century. This hardcover edition delves into Riley's life and contributions to American literature, particularly his influence as a Hoosier poet. The copyright page indicates a 1962 publication, following an earlier copyright in 1942, suggesting this is not the first edition. This book is an ex-library copy, which may affect its collectibility but remains a valuable resource for those interested in Riley's legacy. The book does not feature a dust jacket, and its condition reflects typical library use. ###
