James Hearst
James Hearst (August 8, 1900 - July 27, 1983), born James Schell Hearst, was an American poet, philosopher and university professor, who was sometimes described as the “Robert Frost of the Midwest.” (Alluding to this, someone once said to Frost, who was a friend of Hearst’s, that he was the “James Hearst of New England.”)
==Early Life==
James Hearst was the first child born to Charles E. Hearst and Katharine Hearst, on August 8, 1900. He was born on the family farm in Black Hawk County. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=James Hearst )〕 His father was a farmer in rural Cedar Falls, Iowa,and also a deacon in the Congregational Church. His mother was the first secretary at what is now known as the University of Northern Iowa. Hearst had three younger siblings: Robert Russell Hearst, Charles Joseph Hearst, and Helen Louise (Hearst) Speer. 〔 Emde, Jane Mason. ''The Life and Works of James Schell Hearst''. Minneapolis: U. of Minnesota, 1970.〕 Having completed high school early, he started taking classes at Iowa State Teachers College (now the University of Northern Iowa) in Cedar Falls, sometimes riding horseback to campus from his family’s farm. During World War I, he volunteered for the U.S. Army and was called up in September 1918, but the war ended shortly and he was discharged by the end of the year.
On Memorial Day 1919, having returned to his family’s farm, Hearst was swimming with his friends in the Cedar River. He dove off the dock into the river, not realizing that, over the winter, it had become dangerously shallow. He hit the bottom with his head, fractured his spine, and was left substantially paralyzed for the rest of his life. That moment in his life, he said, was “my nineteenth year where footsteps end.” In the long process of recovering, he came up with ingenious work-around ways by which he could contribute to the operation of the farm, but, as his disability worsened, he increasingly turned to writing about plants, animals and people through the eyes of a Midwestern farmer.
