Sobre este item
New York: Albert & Charles Boni, 1924. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Somewhat larger than the trade edition, this copy has an attractive modern 3/4 brown morocco leather binding by Sangorski & Sutcliffe with gilt rules on the covers and a gilt-decorated and lettered spine with five raised bands, top edge gilt. Illustrated with drawings. Copy #34 of 250 copies SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper, this copy with the initials "P. H." beneath the number. Rogers was born in Indian Territory in 1879 and had some Native American blood in his veins. He began in vaudeville and moved on to motion pictures, a career that was cut short when he died in a small plane crash in 1935 near Point Barrow, Alaska. Perhaps he was best known, however, for his syndicated newspaper column which had such a massive following that the proposition that he run for President was once seriously advanced. His saying, "All I know is what I read in the newspapers," became a popular catchword of the times. Books signed or inscribed by this most popular of American humorists and member of the Cherokee Nation are rather uncommon.
