Dealing with the country, the people, the government, politicians, congressman, diplomats, business, lawyers, bankers, presidents in general and the ones Will knew well, Theodore Roosevelt, Taft, Coolidge, Hoover, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. This collection is a loving contribution to the perpetuation of the memory of a great American. The volume was compiled by Paula McSpadden Love, Will Roger's niece and curator of the Will Rogers Memorial in Claremore, Oklahoma. . 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 218, (6) pp .
