Eugene Field

In the loving Memory which his brother Roswell contributed to the Sabine Edition of Eugene Field's Little Book of Western Verse he says: Comradeship was the indispensable factor in my brother's life. It was strong in his youth: it grew to be an imperative necessity in later life. In the theory that it is sometimes good to be alone he had little or no faith. From the time of Eugene's coming to Chicago until my marriage in 1887 I was his closest comrade and almost constant companion. At the Daily News office for a time we shared the same room and then the adjoining rooms of which I have spoken.
