Books of the West
The West, apart from the volumes
under the various series, came In
for a good deal of literary examina-
ton this year and the result was
a number of good books. "The
Rocky Mountains" by Wallace w.
thoroughly entertaining examina-
ton of the great mountain chain
in terms Of geology, history, scenery
and recreational possibilities. It diff
fered from the routine work Of it's
kind in being written from obvious
enthusiasm. 1t was also attractively
illustrated.
Texas, an Informal Biography"
by Owen P. White is a plain popu-
lar history of the Lone Star State,
probably more calculated to please
the Texan patriot than to interest
the student.
The sheep raising section of the
West, with its body of peculiar ira
dition, brought forth two volumes
designed for the reader of popular
history-"The Golden Hoof" by
Winifrid Kupper and Shepherds
Empire" by Charles Wayland Towne
and Edward Norris Wentworth.
Both books are full of interesting
material, little exploited in a popu-

low" deal with widely separated
war theaters and were written at
different periods, they appeared on
the same day.
The first deals with the war in
Europe. Sitting on hill near
Longwy, France, in 1910, Mr.. Casey
saw the gray-green German tide
inundate France. Four years later,
from the same spot, he watched
Hitler's men in pell-mell retreat.
His book reports the United Ma
tions invasion, giving a superb ac-
count of the landing. He writes,
as always, with the objectivity of a
veteran newspaperman and soldier.
But between the lines one senses
q feeling of disgust and futility.
Mr.. Casey obviously Is pondering
mans inhumanity to man." In
his mastery restraint there Is an
indictment of the institution of war
far more telling than the walls Of
the pacifist.
Battle Below" is the story Of the
submarine, both historically and in
its late war role. The book was
written with the cooperation OF
the Navy and includes some color

have often felt, reading Bob
Casey, that in gaining first-rate
war correspondent, the reading pub
lie lost first-rate novelist-though,
to be sure, he has done fiction on
occasion. He has a natural gift for
sustaining suspense and a flowing
style that lift his ink into the realm
of literature. His books, to my
mind, rank with those of Ernie Pyle
as among the best of the war.
During 1945, incidentally, Ernie's

A GOOD many of the notable
~ books Of Americana this year
come under various Ameri-
cana series. Under the Lake Series
there were two volumes, Lake
Erie" by Harlan Hatcher and
Lake Ontario" by Arthur Pond.
Both volumes give good popularity

their respective regions.
Under the American Scene Series
there were two worthwhile works
pine, Stream and Prairie" by
James Gray, dealing with the seem
cry and people OF Minnesota and
Wisconsin, and This Is the Place:
Utah" by Maurine Whipple. Both
volumes are attractively illustrated.
The American Folkways Series also
brought out couple of works deal
ing with localities. THEY were Town
Meeting Country" by Clarence M.
Webster which, as its title indicates,
treats of the New England country
and institutions, and Golden Gate
Country" by Gertrude Atherton, a
lively collection of the lore and his
tory of California, chiefly the sec
ton around San Francisco.
The excellent Rivers of America
Series added "The Salinas" by Anne
B. Fisher and The Missouri" by
Stanley Vestal to its already dis
tinguished list. 1t also brought out
an enlarged edition Of Blair Niles
earlier volume. The James" The
original work treated only of the
Tidewater section of the river; the

Probably the most popular of
American volumes for the year was

biography of the city and certainly
was written with great deal of
enthusiasm, but opinion of it's mer-

the governor, was in Key West
yesterday investigating the sale
OF a parcel of real estate here
two or three months ago. aju h.
The property was listed with a
realty agent at certain sum, but
when it was reported in The
Citizen the amount was several
hundred dollars larger than the
owner had received. The Citizen
based its figures on the stamps
that were put on the deed.
Persons who sold the property
investigated the matter and
learned the purchase price was
that given in The Citizen. Some
tody, whose name The Citizen
has been unable to learn, report
ed the matter to the commission.
During his stay here, the COM
said that, if his inves-
Iigation proved the report to be
true, the commission will revoke
The realtors license.
The law classes an act of that
nature as misdemeanor, and the
punishment is a fine of not less
than $25 or more than $500, or a
sentence of six months in Jail.
