The Army of God Knows Where

RUNYON, Alfred Damon

Beschreibung

First edition. One sheet folded and ribbon tied to make four pages. Very light pencil name, light edgewear, still a just about fine copy of this attractively printed pamphlet. The only known copy of one of Damon Runyon's first separate publications, a poem printed by an asphalt company, and dedicated to "Our Civil Engineers." The poem originally appeared in the October 1908 issue of *Bohemian Magazine*. A report of this separate publication was printed in Volume XLII, the January-June 1912 *Municipal Engineering Index*. The poem is also reprinted in Runyon's first acknowledged book, *The Tents of Trouble*, a volume of poems in flexible boards published in 1911. His best known book, *Guys and Dolls*, was not published until 1931. Whether this volume precedes the poem's appearance in *The Tents of Trouble* (making this his first book), or follows that but precedes his next publication, *Rhymes of the Firing Line* (thus making this his second book), we are unable to determine. But we can locate no additional copies of this pamphlet, it is clearly rare and possibly unique. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 64626
