By mid-1917, Cobb had become one of the best-known celebrities in America. Ellis describes Cobb’s rise to fame, the experiences he had because of it, and his day-to-day activities. Next, Ellis follows Cobb on another trip to Europe in 1918, where he continued to write articles for the Saturday Evening Post. All these pieces and others were compiled in The Glory of the Coming, demonstrating in his inimitable fashion the commonplace goings-on in war. Cobb had the highest regard for American soldiers, including the African American soldiers he wrote so much about. As a southerner, his inherited and acquired prejudices often came through in his writing as subtle racism. Cobb’s humorous works generated both backlash and praise. |
