"If hard work were such a wonderful thing, surely the rich would have kept it all to themselves." -- Joseph Kirkland
Joseph Kirkland (January 7, 1830 - April 29, 1894) was an American novelist. Born in Geneva, New York, he was a businessman in Chicago, then served in the Union Army during the Civil War, reaching the rank of major. After the war he became a lawyer while also pursuing writing. He is remembered as the author of two realistic novels of pioneer life in the Far West, Zury: The Meanest Man in Spring County and The McVeys. Other works are The Captain of Company K and The Story of Chicago. He was also the literary editor of the Chicago Tribune. Kirkland died in Chicago in 1894, at the age of 64.
