About This Item
WARREN G. HARDING (1865-1923). Harding was the Twenty-Ninth President. Proof copies. 1968. No place. The proof copies of Francis Russell’s 1968 biography The Shadow Of Blooming Grove. The controversial biography is best-remembered for a lawsuit brought by the Harding family against Russell. He discovered letters between Harding and his mistress, Carrie Phillips, and Russell intended to publish excerpts of the correspondence. The Harding family successfully sued to block their disclosure, and it boosted the pre-publication publicity for the tome. The proofs are in two bound booklets and housed in a custom-made green box. There is at least one handwritten correction and the pages have the usual wear to the edges. Perfect for the Warren Harding completist!
