Josiah Flynt Willard, nephew of the temperance leader Frances Willard, grew up in Evanston, ran away repeatedly and spent years on the road with tramps in America and Europe, which he later wrote about with authority. He recalls Rest Cottage, college, his first imprisonment, studies in Germany and an interview with Ibsen.
