At the bottom on the page Alexander has written: "Not for publication." In fact, the poem was the title poem of a book of poetry Alexander published in 1916. Julius Myron Alexander (1857-1932) wrote stories and poetry for newspapers of Sonoma County, Ca., which earned him the honorary title "Poet Laureate of Sonoma County." The poem "The Flag of Peace" was noted by Ernest Latimer Finley in his History of Sonoma County as one of J.M. Alexander's most ambitious efforts. He lived in Healdsburg, one of five children born to Charles and Achsah Smith Alexander. His occupations included clerk, insurance assessor, writer, and publisher. Seller Inventory # 60941
