The Hoosier Schoolmaster: A Story of Backwoods Life in Indiana is an 1871 novel by the American author Edward Eggleston. The novel originated from a series of stories written for Hearth and Home, a periodical edited by Eggleston,[1] and was based on the experiences of his brother, George Cary Eggleston, who had been a schoolteacher in Indiana.[2] The novel is noted for its realistic depictions of 19th-century American rural life and for its use of local dialect.[3]
