Salinger married Claire Douglas in 1955, four years after publishing The Catcher in the Rye and two years after moving into his home in Cornish (French 1013). This was Salinger's second marriage. He was briefly married to Sylvia Salinger during the war. It was a short and intense marriage (Salinger 71).

In 1956, Salinger's daughter, Margaret Ann, was born (French 1013).

In 1960, Salinger's son, Matthew was born. Salinger would remain married to Claire until she divorced him in 1967 (French 1013).

And we end our journey with a view of the home where Salinger lived, quite alone, until his death in 2010.
