Will Rufus arrive in time to save the group? Will he redeem himself in the professor's eyes? Will the strife of war and trial of separation overcome the love between Rufus and Marjory? (Goodreads)

Stephen Crane, born on November 1, 1871, in Newark, New Jersey, was a pioneering American novelist, poet, and journalist whose work left an indelible mark on literature.

He worked as a journalist and war correspondent, covering conflicts such as the Greco-Turkish War and the Spanish-American War.

His innovative narrative techniques and focus on the human psyche paved the way for modernist literature, making him a forerunner of the movement.Stephen Crane's legacy endures not only through his groundbreaking works but also through his daring life, which embodied the spirit of artistic rebellion and relentless pursuit of truth.
