About This Item
Indianapolis: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, 1919. Hardcover. Illustrations by John Wolcott Adams. Small 8vo. Red cloth with black lettering. 416pp). Frontispiece, 5 full-page plates. Very good. Lightly edgeworn, mainly at corners and along faintly-sunned spine. Tight and decent first edition of this fictionalized Lincoln biography by the popular, prolific American journalist and novelist (1859-1950) -- with choice autograph addition: Tipped to inner flyleaf is a lovely Autograph Note Signed from Bacheller, 1p, 5" X 7¼", New York, NY, 11 October 1940. Addressed to noted Lincoln scholar Arnold F. Gates (1914-93). Near fine. On his imprinted personal letterhead and penned in black ink in his usual neat tiny script, Bacheller sends this admirer "Thanks, many thanks for your kind words.." Gates no doubt sent him birthday greetings for his 81st birthday on September 26. MONAGHAN 2402.
