1893réf. 43643Chicago: Charles H. Kerr and Company 1893. First Edition. 12mo 18.5cm.; publisher's white gilt-lettered cloth; 103pp. Cloth a bit soiled especially at spine with a few shallow surface scratches corners gently bumped else Very Good internally fine. Quite scarce collection of poems by a near-unknown poet. Despite the imprint the poems are inspired mostly by nature and Greek mythology rather than socialist politics. We find one contemporary review whose critic rightly strips the work of any literary merit stating that "Much of his work shows no idea of the meaning of words" providing as evidence the following line: "A dreamer fair and bland!"

Intrigued by the mystique and challenge of the Marine Corps eighteen-year-old Wesley Fox enlisted in the summer of 1950 shortly after the outbreak of the Korean War. He saw action with the First Marine Division in Korea and was wounded in 1951. After Korea Fox advanced steadily in the enlisted ranks reaching the rank of first sergeant and early in the Vietnam War he received an appointment as second lieutenant. While serving as a rifle company commander with the Third Marine Division in 1969 he was twice wounded in a vicious battle during Operation Dewey Canyon. Early in this battle every member of the company 's command staff was either wounded or killed. In an all-or-nothing effort led by First Lieutenant Fox his company repulsed the attack of a much larger enemy force and then counterattacked with devastating results. For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty Fox received the Medal of Honor which President Richard Nixon presented to him at the White House. Despite the personal sacrifice and frequent danger Fox resolutely embraced the ethos of the Marine Corps risking his life on numerous occasions and emerging as a leader in one of the most respected and feared fighting organizations in the world. Readers interested in U.S. military history from the second half of the twentieth century in the Marine Corps and in inspiring tales of personal achievement will find plenty of each in Fox 's extraordinary memoir. From Wikipedia: "Wesley Lee Fox born September 30 1931 is a retired Colonel in the United States Marine Corps with 43 years of service. Fox received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Vietnam War. He is considered to be one of the legendary war heroes within the Marine Corps. Fox was born to John Wesley and Desola Lee nee Crouch Fox in Herndon Virginia the oldest of ten siblings. He attended Warren County High School in Front Royal Virginia until 1948. He enlisted in the Marine Corps shortly before his 19th birthday on August 4 1950 during the Korean War. He completed recruit training at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island South Carolina. Serving as a rifleman with Company I 3rd Battalion 5th Marines he was wounded in action in Korea on September 8 1951 and sent to the U.S. Navy Hospital in Bethesda Maryland. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with Combat "V". He recovered in 1952 and was sent back to Korea in 1954 as a Platoon Sergeant with Company G 3rd Battalion 5th Marines. When he returned home from Korea he was assigned to duty as both a drill instructor from 1955 to 1957 and a recruiter from 1957 to 1960. He was promoted to First Sergeant in May 1966. Shortly afterwards he was commissioned as a Marine Second Lieutenant. Fox served in the Vietnam War for 13 months as an adviser to the Vietnamese Marine Corps. In November 1968 he became company commander of Company A 1st Battalion 9th Marines until May 1969. During Operation Dewey Canyon in Quang Tri Province he was wounded twice on February 22 1969. He was wounded the first time in the shoulder when his company was attacked by a large enemy force. 1st Lieutenant then Fox then personally neutralized one enemy emplacement and directed his company to destroy others. After his company's executive officer was mortally wounded he continued to direct the company's actions ordering air strikes and coordinating the advance until the enemy retreated. Fox the only officer left in his company capable of resistance was wounded again in the final assault but refused medical attention while he reorganized his troops and prepared the wounded for evacuation. For his heroic actions that day he was presented the Medal of Honor by President Richard Nixon on March 2 1971. He retired from the Marine Corps as a full colonel in September 1993 at the mandatory age of 62. He held every enlisted rank except Sergeant Major and every officer rank except General.
