He settled in Paris where he renewed his earlier friendships with such fellow-American expatriates as Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. In 1922, he reported on the Greco-Turkish war before resigning from journalism to devote himself to fiction. He returned to America in 1919, and married in 1921. The following year, he volunteered as an ambulance driver on the Italian front, where he was badly wounded but decorated for his services.

In a late section, Myles invents and assumes a persona, Bo Jean Harmonica, to explore her alcoholism and the AA meetings where she “learned to speak” and to “choose-listen.” And finally, Myles allows her pooch to narrate the last chapters, in which Rosie writes to the poet from the afterlife.

Other major discussions of military strategy limit the "three areas of warfare" to just strategy, operation, and tactics. Stoker's general thesis is that while the Union eventually developed a brilliant strategy-or "grand design"-to overpower the Confederate Army, it took far too long and cost the nation far too many lives.

The present plate was no 3 in the series and is regarded as the second state of two. This very rare print formed part of a series of twelve prints published by J & J Boydell. ![]() |
