He served as a Lieutenant in the 28th keystone Division United States Army during World War I and fought in the Aisne-Marne offensive July�August 1918. He wrote Toward the Flame 1926 a nonfictional account of his experiences in the war. His first book Wampum and Old Gold was awarded the Yale Younger Poets Prize. Allen is best known for his work Anthony Adverse. He also planned a series of novels about colonial America called The Disinherited. He completed three works in the series: The Forest and the Fort 1943 Bedford Village 1944 and Toward the Morning 1948. The novels tell the story of Salathiel Albine a frontiersman kidnapped as a boy by Shawnee Indians in the 1750s. All three works were collected and published as the City in the Dawn. Allen also wrote Israfel 1926 a biography of American writer Edgar Allan Poe. For a period of time Allen taught at the Porter Military Academy in Charleston South Carolina.
