True story of Roscoe and Vera Diamond Chittim, the world that brought them together in Texas, and the world war that separated them for two years. During Roscoe's service in the U. S. Army during World War I, he and Vera wrote each other long and often passionate love letters, giving the reader a glimpse into the world of the early 1900s. Roscoe, a Missouri-born Cherokee Indian, met and married Dallas socialite Vera Diamond in 1917, and one year later was drafted into the Army. He overcame the deadly pandemic flu and the barrage of war in France to return to his beloved, but tragically lost his life to another diease only four years later. The dozens of letters Vera kept offer a glimpse into their world that is both intimate and at the same time revealing of the culture of the times.
