All the Brothers Were Valiant (novel)

All the Brothers Were Valiant is a story by Ben Ames Williams. It was published in the 1919 April and May issues of Everybody's Magazine with illustrations by N. C. Wyeth;[1][2] a hardcover edition followed in May with jacket art, front and rear, also by Wyeth.[3] It was Williams's first published novel, although he had previously written many short stories for magazines.[4][5] It has been adapted to film three times, all by MGM: All the Brothers Were Valiant (1923, now lost), Across to Singapore (1928) and All the Brothers Were Valiant (1953). Polar explorer Richard E. Byrd carried a copy on his 1933-1935 solo journey to Antarctica; he wrote in his journal that he was challenged reading it due to eye problems caused by carbon monoxide poisoning from his stove.[6]
