the spring of 1917. In 1919 he came home from the war with a Croix
de Guerre and a desire to write. He joined the St. Paul News as a
journalist and opened a bookstore, whose patrons included F. Scott
Fitzgerald and Sinclair Lewis. Through the Wheat appeared to
immediate acclaim, with F. Scott Fitzgerald calling it "a work of
art" and "arresting." Boyd wrote five other works before he died in
Vermont of a cerebral hemorrhage at age thirty-seven. Introducing
