The Ohio Connection

Born in Hamilton, Ohio, Oct. 18, 1889, but raised in St. Louis, Missouri.
Hurst would visit her grandmother in Hamilton during summers as a child. In her autobiography she said, “Those summers in Hamilton were practically my first taste of nature close-up.”

The WOSU Stations, in partnership with the Ohioana Library,
and with support from the Ohio Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities, developed Ohioana Authors.

The mission of the Ohioana Library Association is to recognize and encourage the creative accomplishments of Ohioans, to preserve and to expand a permanent archive of books, sheet music, manuscripts, and other materials by Ohioans and about Ohio, and to disseminate information about the work of Ohio writers, musicians, and other artists to researchers, schools, and the general public.
