WILLIAM DAVEY/Santa Fe's Enchanting Writer by Susan Davey. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781733213004.

SHOCKING STORY OF LITERARY SABOTAGE. Charming, strong-willed, witty, and talented like his artist father Randall Davey, William Davey had a determination that carried him through WWII frontline combat as a Special Forces officer, success as a high-goal polo player, chess champion and amateur astronomer. Internationally known for his novels and poetry, in the USA his talents were praised by noted publishers but little was printed for reasons not understandable for years. It wasnt until his mother, married to millionaire Cyrus McCormick III, died, that it became clear that she had spent her life sabotaging Bills beloved literary career. Read the fascinating inside story of early artistic and literary times in Santa Fe with the Daveys, social stories about the McCormicks, as well as the New York publishing scene.
