He lived in raw Chicago in 1907-08, brawled and bragged among the artists of Greenwich Village and Montparnasse, worked in a Norfolk shipyard in the War, bummed thousands of miles through the South and West with an eye for the smoking valleys, the shanty boats on the rivers, the boom towns, tumbled farms and vast continental curve of his country...
