Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Soldier and Dramatist: Being the Letters of Harold Chapin, American Citizen Who Died for England at Loos on September 26th 1915, With Two Portraints
His family is of old New England stock, de scended from Huguenot refugees, and there are family legends of an Indian princess who married one of his ancestors. With his characteristic love of the picturesque, Harold always insisted on the reality of his Indian ancestress.
His mother was a Unitarian, and it was in this faith that he was reared. In the autumn of 1888, Mrs. Chapin brought her baby son to Europe. They stayed for a little while in Paris, and, before he was three years of age, they came to London. It was in England that Harold Chapin lived the rest of his life.
