1905. Novelist whose career began in the greeting card business. The book begins: Dr. Lavendar and Goliath had toiled up the hill to call on old Mr. Benjamin Wright; when they jogged back in the late afternoon it was with the peculiar complacency which follows the doing of a disagreeable duty. Goliath had not like climbing the hill, for a heavy rain in the morning had turned the clay to stiff mud, and Dr. Lavendar had not liked calling on Benjamin Wright.

1906. Davis was an American journalist and novelist who covered wars all over the world. His vivid accounts made him one of the leading reporters of his day. Captain Macklin begins: It may seem presumptuous that so young a man as myself should propose to write his life and memoirs, for, as a rule, one waits until he has accomplished something in the world, or until he has reached old age, before he ventures to tell of the times in which he has lived, and of his part in them. But the profession to which I belong, which is that of a soldier, and which is the noblest profession a man can follow, is a hazardous one, and were I to delay until tomorrow to write down what I have seen and done, these memoirs might never be written, for, such being the fortune of war, tomorrow might not come.
