On a radiant day in the month of May, specifically May 14th, 1900, in the quaint and picturesque town of Sterling, Nebraska, a place renowned for its endless expanse of the Great Plains, where the horizon stretches out to meet the sky, Hal Borland made his grand entrance into the world, bringing with him an unquenchable thirst for adventure and a fervent desire to craft narratives that would captivate the hearts and minds of countless individuals, leaving an indelible mark on the literary world and inspiring future generations to follow in his footsteps.
From the moment of his birth to the culmination of his remarkable life, Borland was enveloped in an ocean of love and devotion by two extraordinary females, Barbara Ross Dodge and Alice Le Bene, who would go on to become the pillars of his existence, the recipients of his deepest affection, and the companions with whom he would share the most intimate moments of his life.
Tragically, the mortal existence of the illustrious and celebrated author, as well as naturalist of great repute, Hal Borland, was irreparably and irreversibly severed on February 22nd, 1978, in the quaint and charming town of Salisbury, Connecticut, a locality renowned for its breathtaking natural scenery and profound sense of serenity.
