Description: The first edition, published by John Lane in 1917. An exceptional association; inscribed by Sherwood Anderson to Alice ( Corbin ) Henderson. As the assistant editor of Harriet Monroe's Poetry magazine, Alice Henderson has been accorded considerable credit for advancing the fledgling writer Anderson. One year after the publication of Marching Men, John Lane published Anderson's poetry collection Mid American Chants; Alice Corbin Henderson was one of a very small cadre in the world of poetics who championed the work. As Alice Corbin, she was the author of her own works of poetry. Anderson's regard for Alice Henderson was considerable - and lasting. A near fine example of the book with a faint stain to the rear board. The exceedingly scarce dust jacket is very good with a one inch section of paper loss from the base of the spine and shallow chipping to its head. Few Anderson association copies of this merit remain available to collectors.
