Unknown Soldier and won world
wide acclaim for his account.
Now 77, tall and lean, his eyes
crinkle as he- recalls those dull
gray days so long ago.
He has not written a news story
in 12 years, but he has a good
reporter's memory for details.
"On Nov. 9, 1921," he recalled,
"we were getting ready to go
down to the Washington Navy
Yard to meet the cruiser Olympia,
Adm. George Dewey's flagship at
Manila. It was bringing in the
Unknown Soldier from France. I
remember one of the War Depart
ment officials said, 'I hope the
press makes an epoch out of this
and not a eulogy.
Simpson had known war from
first hand. As a lad of 17 he was

the Spanish American war. n

It was there, too, that he became
a fan of Robert Louis Stevenson,
whose "Requiem" lent Simpson
the mood, simplicity and tone lor

He was a tnend of Jack Lon

birthplace. i
After the Spanish-American War
Simpson came home to California
and went into ine newspaper ousi

Tribune and then a small news
paper in Tonopah, Nev. By 1914
he was in Washington with The
Associated Press.
On his assignment to write the
Unknown Soldier stories, he went
in the long line that filed past the
catafalque to capture the feeling
of the crowd.
Later he picked up his mend

they went to Arlington for the entombment.
Simmon's lead on that event
leaned heavily on Robert Louis
