James Whitcomb Riley was born on Oct. 7, 1849, in Greenfield, Ind. His father, a successful small-town lawyer, allowed him to shape his education by instinct rather than formal precedents. Oratory, drama, painting, and music took James's earliest attention. He idolized Charles Dickens. Poets Robert Burns, for dialect verse, and Henry Longfellow, for moral precepts, were his models. Young Riley wrote voluminously and saved every scrap, particularly the local-color sketches, incorporating anecdotes he heard from the country people around the courthouse. His musical ear was good; he played the violin, guitar, and banjo. His verbal ear was even better. At the age of 16 Riley left school to become a "house, sign, and ornamental painter," wandering around Indiana. He read law for a while but took to the road with a traveling medicine man from whose wagon he learned to entertain the public with recitations in dialect. When he returned to Greenfield, he started a career in journalism, beginning with the local paper and expanding his horizons gradually. At one time he was local editor of the

One of the most popular poets in American history, James Whitcomb Riley was born in Greenfield, Indiana, the second son and third of six children raised by Reuben A.(a Civil War veteran and lawyer)and Elizabeth (Marine) Riley. At an early age Riley discovered that he disliked the "iron discipline" of school life but enjoyed books. As a child, Riley often accompanied his father (a noted political orator) on trips to the Hancock County courthouse, where he observed the manners and mores of country society, as well as the countrified dialect he later used in his poetry. In his own words he did a little of a number of things fairly well. He sang, played the guitar and violin, acted, painted signs and wrote poetry. His father did not encourage his verse-making for he thought it too visionary, and being a visionary himself, he believed he understood the dangers of following the promptings of the poetic temperament. He doubted if anything would come of the verse-writing himself.

James Whitcomb Riley James Whitcomb Riley (1849-1916) was born in Greenfield Indiana. He was a regular contributor of poetry to the Indianapolis Daily Journal. In his writing, Riley recorded the speech of a community of rural speakers of the Hoosier dialect. The Tree-Toad "Scur'ous-like," said the tree-toad, "I've twittered fer rain all day; And I got up soon, And hollered tel noon But the sun, hit blazed away, Tel I jest clumb down in a crawfish-hole, Weary at hart, and sick at soul! "Dozed away fer an hour, And I tackled the thing ag'in: And I sung, and sung, Tel I knowed my lung, Was jest about give in; And then , thinks I, ef hit don't rain now They's nothin' in singin', anyhow! "Once't in a while some farmer, Would come a-drivin' past; And he'd hear my cry, And stop and sigh Tel I jest laid back, at last, And I hollered rain tel I thought my th'oat Would bust wide open at ever' note! "But I fetched her!O I fetched her! 'Cause a little while ago, As I kindo' set, With one eye shet, And a-singin' soft and low
