About This Item
Cosmopolitan Book, 1921-01-01. Hardcover. Very Good. 1.5700 in x 7.3200 in x 5.3500 in. No DJ. Signed and inscribed by the author on the front free page: For Marguerite Barth, Sincerely Peter B. Kyne, July of '28. No other markings in book. Binding is tight. Sunned spine. Publisher is Grosset and Dunlap. Peter B. Kyne (1880-1957) was an American novelist who wrote between 1904 and 1940. Many of his works were adapted into screenplays starting in the silent era, particularly his first novel, The Three Godfathers, which was published in 1913 and proved to be a huge success. He is credited in 110 films between 1914 and 1952. When still under 18, he lied about his age and enlisted in Company L, 14th US Infantry, which served in the Philippines from 1898 to 1899. The Spanish-American War and the following insurrection of General Emilio Aguinaldo provided background for many of Kyne's later stories. During World War I, he served as a captain in Battery A of the 144th field Artillery, known as the California Grizzlies.
