Felix Paul Greve/Frederick Philip Grove's Passage to America : the Discovery of the Author's Arrival in North America and Its Implications / by Gaby Divay, University of Manitoba, Archives & Special Collections. 1999.

Paper submitted in Feb. 1999 to Martin Kuester, Universitat Augsburg, for a planned Festschrift for Walter Pache. -- Described is the Nov. 1998 discovery of FPG's Passage, and how the pointers he gave in the first few pages of his first autobiographical novel A Search for America, 1927, match the details of his crossing in unexpected ways: he did travel from Liverpool to Montreal; he did come on a ship of the famous White Star Line; he did go in late July, and he did have a ticket for second class. This confirms that much more credence can be given to Grove's stories, if only the fabricated time-frame [20 years were added to his arrival in Manitoba in 1912] is silently adjusted, and some years subtracted from his inflated age [he was born in 1879, not 1871 or 2].
