Journal Entry-Dec 5th

Caption: The Allies were a little overconfident




Dec/ 5 returned to the 16th.
Finni- End of Track" by Ward Weaver, Reynal & Hitchcock NY.
C-C. f.up again brought Okie down to replace Randolph-who had gone to town so we had to take Okie back to Aldringen


An active, amplified Western, by the author of Hang My Wreath (Wilfred Funk, p. 19, 1/15/41 bulletin), which is the story of Robert Burton, ex-Confederate and soldier of fortune, his successes in the line of lone hand fighting and his misses in the line of emotional entanglements. His fight against Smiley, who hangs his best friend, his work as a scout against the Cheyenne Indians, who wreck Union Pacific trains, his eventual conviction of Senator Valcour and Smiley, who instigated the Indian raids to wreck the railroad, constitute him combat story. His loves and losses include first Enid, who didn't wait for him, then Jessica, Valcour's daughter, who uses him, and finally, and successfully, Lucinda, forced into the oldest profession, whom he saves from further degradation. Husky, sometimes rakish, but a Western for all that.


Reynal and Hitchcock is the publisher

Last night I got my first pass in France and we all went into a little town nearby (I'll tell you its name when I'm allowed). Of course the first thing the boys I was with headed for... ...was a wine shop, but that did them no good- "Bosche Take" was all they could get from the proprietress. That was the way with every th...
