Someday I'm Going Home by RICE, Grantland - 1914

Philadelphia: Globe Bible Publishing Co, 1897. Both are good with heavy wear to the pictorial cloth boards, some staining and grubbiness to the pages.. The Chicago Record's Book for Gold Seekers was rushed into print by the Chicago Record in 1897, to assist those heading for the gold fields. While the book was printed by numerous printers throughout the country during 1897, this particular printing is scarce with only one copy located on Worldcat. Also includes the salesman's dummy, which oddly enough appears more common in institutional holdings than the actual book.

Henry Grantland "Granny" Rice (November 1, 1880 – July 13, 1954) was an early 20th-century American sportswriter known for his elegant prose. His writing was published in newspapers around the country and broadcast on the radio. He became even better known after his columns were nationally syndicated beginning in 1930, and became known as the "Dean of American Sports Writers". He and his writing are among the reasons that the 1920s in the United States are sometimes referred to as the "Golden Age of Sports". In 1954, the Football Writers Association established the Grantland Rice Memorial Award, given annually to an outstanding college player selected by the group.
