Don Marquis,
Autobiographical Sketch
(1916)
“ There is little more to tell. In 1916 I again returned to the Republican party. This time it was for the express purpose of voting against Mr. Wilson. Then Mr. Hughes was nominated, and I left the Republican party again.This is the outline of my life in its relation to the times in which I live. For the benefit of those whose curiosity extends to more particular details, I add a careful penpicture of myself.It seems more modest, somehow, to put it in the third person:Height, 5 feet 10 1/2 inches; hair, dove-colored; scar on little finger of left hand ”
