American Individualism. by Hoover, Herbert - 1928

Garden City: Doubleday, Page and Company, 1928. First edition of this work on American indidualism. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Herbert Hoover on the front free endpaper. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. On publication, reviewers praised American Individualism as a work that ranks "among the few great formulations of American political theory" (New York Times). Published while serving as President Harding’s Secretary of Commerce, this important early work by President Herbert Hoover represented, to historian Frederick Jackson Turner, clear "evidence of a mind seeking to adapt pioneering traditions to the problems of an industrial and urban age" (Hawley, 3).
