Last Ditch
“For a public life of nearly three decades to end on such an uncertain and tremulous note allowed for a wide range of speculation among those familiar with the story, and thus, lacking the comfort of ready answers, unwittingly provided the raw material of legend.

Peerless Price was the only son of Tyler K. Price, a prominent local clothing manufacturer whose company, Peerless Products, had grown prosperous outfitting starry-eyed miners bound for the Klondike. After graduating from Stanford, ignoring his father's invitation to join the family firm, Peerless Price instead joined the Marine Corps, where he distinguished himself in the Pacific theater of W.W. n. Peerless assuaged his thwarted literary ambitions through frequent letters to his father, vividly describing GI life and death on the Pacific front Tyler Price was understandably proud of his son's contribution to the war effort, and during a businessmen's luncheon at the Cascade Club one afternoon in nineteen forty-three, he casually showed one of his son's letters to his longtime friend R.MoreLess
