The Edwin Markham Exhibit

History Park curator Alida Bray has installed a display of artifacts pertaining to Edwin Markham in the resource room. On display are his poems, his cane, The Lark first edition of his poetry, and a 1920s miniature book. The display highlights Markham's career, and his place in the annals of poetry in the United States and abroad. In the entry room is an original signed copy of Markham's world-renowned poem "The Man with the Hoe" which was inspired by Millet's painting of the same name.
