Markham, Edwin, 1852-1940
California poet. Raised near Vacaville, became a schoolteacher in Coloma and later in Oakland. Became famous overnight with publication of "The Man with a Hoe," his protest against brutalization of labor, in "San Francisco Examiner" (January 15, 1899). Following this success Markham moved to New York where he scored another triumph with "Lincoln and Other Poems" (1901). He became a well-known reader of his own poems and lecturer of idealistic views, but his creative output for remainder of life enjoyed scant critical acclaim.
From the description of Edwin Markham poems, 1899-1931. (University of the Pacific). WorldCat record id: 34775117
