Synopsis: The Lost Sketchbooks, A Young Artist in The Great War is the story of Corporal Edward Shenton of Company B, 103rd Engineers, 28th Division and his service in World War One. Ed never kept a diary and none of his letters home have been found but he did keep sketchbooks in which he recorded his wartime experiences in drawings rather than in words. When he returned home, he put his sketchbooks away and continued his art career, which spanned more than fifty years. Now nine decades later Ed Shenton's drawings have been discovered and published. The one hundred and fifty sketches tell the story of his training in Maryland and Georgia, his combat in Second Battle of the Marne and in the Meuse-Argonne and his time in France after the Armistice. The Lost Sketchbooks is an intimate tale of a young man s two-year odyssey told by his drawings. The images are very immediate and personal and make one feel as if they are walking beside him in The Great War. About the Author: Edward Shenton returned to art school at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and went on to have a fifty-year-long career as a professional artist during which he did covers for first editions of Hemingway, Faulkner and Fitzgerald. He was one of the major book and magazine illustrators of the 1930 s and 1940 s. His rare sketches were done with exceptional skill and an immediacy seldom seen in wartime artwork. One hundred and fifty of his drawings are included in The Lost Sketchbooks. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

The Rivers of America was conceived by Constance Lindsay Skinner. Skinner envisioned the series: "This is to be a literary and not a historical series. The authors of these books will be novelists and poets. On them, now in America, as in all lands and times, rests the real responsibility of interpretation. If the average American is less informed about his country than any other national, knows and cares less about its past and about its present in all sections but the one where he resides, it is because books prepared for his instruction were not written by artists." The series was widely popular and was extended to 65 volumes over 37 years.
