New York: Blue Ribbon Books, 1930. Octavo, black cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, uncut, top edge red, illustrated endpapers, 207 pp + ads. Near Fine. From Foreword: This is the life of a man. I have added nothing to the sparse records of old books and the fading memories that linger in the minds of men in his own country. Nor have I left anything out, except a few foolish, though extraordinarily common, legends that I found had no historical basis whatever. Christophe, as is often the ill-fotune of great men, has been remembered by his enemies and the cruel and silly tales they told of him. This is not a “work of reference,” but I have appended a selected bibliography.
