Mass market paperback. Condition: Good. [8], 307, [5] pages. Front cover worn, soiled and creased. Rear covers has wear, tears, and is missing a small corner portion. Our men, our women, great and common - soldiers, statesmen, lovers, wives, and children - wintering, hungering, boldly achieving in the bravest moment of our country's history. Valley Forge - by MacKinklay Kantor - the Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author of Andersonville brings you a masterpiece of America's greatest struggle! MacKinlay Kantor (February 4, 1904 - October 11, 1977), born Benjamin McKinlay Kantor, was an American journalist, novelist and screenwriter. He wrote more than 30 novels, several set during the American Civil War, and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1956 for his 1955 novel, Andersonville. He also wrote the novel Gettysburg, set during the Civil War and Valley Forge, set in the American Revolution. From 1928 to 1934, Kantor wrote numerous stories for pulp fiction magazines, to earn a living and support his family; these works included crime stories and mysteries. During World War II, Kantor reported from London as a war correspondent for a Los Angeles newspaper. After flying with some bombing missions, he asked for and received training to operate the bomber's turret machine guns, although he was not in service and this violated regulations, During his assignment with the U.S. troops in World War II, Kantor entered the Buchenwald concentration camp as they liberated it on April 14, 1945. During the next decade, that experience informed his research for and writing of Andersonville. Kantor's last novel was Valley Forge (1975). Derived from a Kirkus review: An irregular segment of the Revolutionary War celebrated here in set-pieces about the common troops and officers (both lobsterbacks and Colonials) and country folks during and after Washington's encampment on the Delaware. Call it regional reverie, mosaic, or what you will--the novel shows contempt for everyday narration and proceeds, fragment by "smoaky" fragment, as the author's heart dictates, in the words of old diaries and other lost pockets of language. One wonders what Washington would have thought of Kantor's musical ode to Salem Peach the Army fifer, or the image of himself pulling teeth one by one from his inflamed gums (he apparently crossed the Delaware with few or no teeth). Here is Mum Foyne, sixteen-year-old deserter who has been campaigning for two years, and is turned back to battle when a pretty Quaker girl induces him to fight again. Here is British Major Banastre Tarleton who loves to ride down Colonials and have his horse kick them to death (he lames Mum horribly). And Ben Franklin, and Mad Anthony Wayne, and Lafayette. But the famous battle itself is not depicted, except for a skirmish. Instead, Kantor focuses on the hideously (and symbolically) scarred Mum returned from the field--representing the country that must be healed. A commemorative--for the longstanding following.
