Excerpt from Tumbleweeds: A Book of Western Verse Of medium height, with deep, dark eyes glowing with the light of kindly sympathy from a face at once spiritually and volitionally expressive, Mr. Dunroy, even to the casual passer on the street, presents a more than ordinary appearance. His physical type is plainly that of the poet not made, but born; for no one could be more unaffected than he. Born thirty-two years ago at Galesburg, Illinois, he moved, while quite young, to the prairies of northwestern Iowa, where the earlier years of his life were passed, with nothing in sight but the broad expanse of green below and the bright blue sky above. Here, like the old poets, he became the child of nature; for out of her mysterious recesses he heard the voice of the muses, and from the earliest struggled to give expression to the words which he heard and the visions which he saw. But Fortune and the Muses are not always on intimate terms. Our young poet had many a grim battle to fight; yet out of this very strenuousness of fate, with singular triumph he has builded for himself a character and a work that are to endure. Mr. Dunroy has proved himself the master of his en vironment. This is the supreme test in the life of the man of destiny.
