...become America's best historical novelist. For years he had been "mousing around for something to write that would have my own sort of people in it." In 1928 he found it, gave up journalism, went off to Italy to write the first of his Chronicles of Arundel. By last week he had translated his Idea into five historical novels and had come within challenging distance of his Ambition...
Northwest Passage, his latest book, is not another of his Chronicles of Arundel, but like them is based on preRevolutionary U. S. history. Narrator of the tale is one Langdon Towne, whose great ambition is to be an artist and paint pictures of Indians. But the real hero is Major Robert Rogers of Rogers' Rangers. Langdon was a bright lad and did so well at school that his family scraped together enough money to send him to Harvard College. A rum party in his room brought his brief career there to a close; his disappointed father...

When Arundel died in 1646 he owned the book, but by that time Charles I had surrendered to the Scots rebels. Hence, suggests Kenneth Clark, the drawings did not at once pass to the British...
...other semifinalists were beefy Cyril Tolley, champion in 1920 and 1929. who has lately done most of his golfing in the U. S., and a capable Scotch player named Thomas Arundel Bourn, 23 years younger than Scott. When Dunlap lost, everyone knew what to expect: Tolley would beat Bourn and then take the final. Instead, playing on a course he distrusts because it imposes eccentric penalties on his long drives, Tolley lost to Bourn in a tight match, after 20 holes. Next day, Scott made matters easy by piling up a 5-hole lead in the morning. In the afternoon...
