Title	Louis Bromfield High School Drawings
Subject	Arts and Entertainment Literary Ohio Education Bromfield, Louis, 1896-1956
Place	Mansfield (Ohio) Richland County (Ohio)
Description	These drawings by writer Louis Bromfield were created while he was in high school in Mansfield, Ohio around 1910-1914. At least one drawing was used as artwork in the 1914 Mansfield High School yearbook. Ten drawings, measuring 5" x 7.75" (12.7 x 19.69 cm), are shown here. Louis Bromfield (1896-1956) was born in Mansfield, Ohio. His family name was originally spelled Brumfield. After graduation from high school at age 16, Bromfield served with the French Army during World War I, winning the Croix de Guerre. Changing his mind after a stint at Cornell University, where he studied agriculture, he enrolled in Columbia University in New York to study journalism. Bromfield returned to France after college and settled down as a successful author. His first published novel, The Green Bay Tree, was based on his early life in Mansfield. His novel Early Autumn won Bromfield a Pulitzer Prize in 1926. Bromfield and his family returned to the United States before World War II. The family settled in Richland County, Ohio, just southeast of Mansfield. At his farm, Malabar (now Malabar Farm State Park), Bromfield experimented with his agricultural theories--some of which have become standard practices. His novel The Rains Came was made into a movie that premiered in Mansfield in 1939.
