  • 1890 - Wrote a single-tax play, Under the Wheel (Cover); Online version at Archive.org. Reviewed in The Arena, July. The following comments appeared later:

    "The Arena for July is not quite up to its usual average, but contains one remarkable feature -— a modern play by Hamlin Garland, entitled "Under the Wheel." It is a terribly realistic stoiy of a family which, after having been under the wheel of poverty in Boston, went out West, and settled on the land, to be driven crazy by the unrelieved hardship of tho unending struggle with nature. There is no plot in the play, but it is a terribly grim representation of the way in which human beings are ground "under the wheel" of incessant and useless toil. Alice, the daughter, is a modern girl; a woman somewhat after Ibsen's type. Senator Wade Hampton gives a Southern planter's point of view of the race question, in a paper which concludes with a declaration that if the negroes cannot be disfranchised, the next best thing is to take them en masse to Africa. If they cannot be transported to another continent, he would like to see them through the whole country, so that every State in the Union should have a negro question of its own, and understand what the negro is in politics."
