Spending time at the Christian Science White Mountains Camp in Tamworth , New Hampshire , it was there that he wrote '' The Eye of Zeitun '' ; it included the four protagonists who had appeared in '' The Ivory Trail '' experiencing a new adventure in Armenia , and reflected Turkish persecution of the Armenian people . It was serialised in '' Romance '' from February to March 1920 before being published by Bobbs-Merrill in March under the altered title of '' The Eyes of Zeitoon '' . The book received mixed reviews and did not sell well . Although pleased with the work of his agent Paul Reynolds , he switched to Howard Wheeler , with whom he felt more comfortable
