en-wikipedia-org-112		Main-Travelled Roads - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	1993	226	69	Main-Travelled Roads contains eleven semi-autobiographical short stories, including "A Branch Road", "Up the Coolly", "Among the Corn-Rows", "The Return of a Private", "Under the Lion's Paw", "The Creamery Man", "A Day's Pleasure", "Mrs. Ripley's Trip", "Uncle Ethan Ripley", "God's Ravens", and "A 'Good Fellow's' Wife". Benjamin Orange Flower, editor of the Boston-based progressive journal Arena, encouraged Garland to use his writing to inform the public about social and ethical issues.[4] Garland's aim was to "write against the grain of the conventional depiction of rural life and to express his land policy and feminist ideas".[4] Flower's Arena Publishing Company first published the book in June 1891 as Main-Travelled Roads: Six Mississippi Valley Stories, of which one selection had appeared in Arena, three others had been previously published in Harper's Weekly and two other pieces were new works.[1] Garland added three more stories to the 1899 edition and another two in 1922, bringing the total from six to eleven.[5]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-112.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-112.txt
