"Gunpowder gold?" exclaimed American secret agent Luther Grimm, "I'd steal and beg and rob and murder for it! For myself? No! For what flames in a man's heart and soul, for what burns in his brain, for what drives him mad! For his father, facing the enemy with empty guns! For his brothers, condemned to the hell of a prison-ship and imprisonment because the army had no powder or food!" Grimm had risked his life on the American and European battlefields.
