| Publisher Description: 1915. A Hilltop on the Marne is a forgotten gem by Mildred Aldrich (who also wrote under the name H. Quinn). When she was 61 she retired as a drama critic and moved to a hilltop residence in France that overlooked the plain where the Battle of the Marne would occur. A friend of Gertrude Stein, she wrote several books about the battles, soldiers' experiences, and the war in general. She was awarded the Legion of Honor by the French government in 1922 for her war efforts. |
