American author of poetry and prose, an amateur historian and ethnographer, and a philosopher of the Great Plains. Born at the end of the American settlement of the Plains, he became interested in the experiences of those who had been a part of the European-American migration, as well as American Indians whom they had displaced. Sy Scholfield quotes "Sorrat: A History of the Neihardt Psychokinesis Experiments, 1961-1981" by John Thomas Richards (Scarecrow, 1982), p. 1: "John Gneisenau Neihardt was born on January 8, 1881, in a two-room farmhouse near Sharpsburg, Illinois ... Neihardt was born at dusk. Twilight, the time of transition, always held a special fascination for him; he thought of himself as a representative of a cultural period's 'sunset,' the last years of the westward expansion."
