About This Item
New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1919. Hardcover. Illustrations by John Wolcott Adams. Small 8vo. Red cloth with black lettering, pictorial dust jacket. 416pp, (12pp ads). Frontispiece, 5 full-page plates. Near fine/very good. Jacket mildly edgeworn and moderately age toned, with a few tiny edge chips. Just a G & D reprint of Monaghan 2402, a fictionalized Lincoln biography by the popular, prolific American journalist and novelist (1859-1950) -- but what a copy! Not only is the invariably-absent pictorial dust jacket present and quite attractive, but tipped to inner flyleaf is a superb Autograph Note Signed from Bacheller, 1p, 5" X 7¼", New York, NY, 2 December 1941. Addressed to noted Lincoln scholar Arnold F. Gates (1914-93). Near fine. On his imprinted personal letterhead and penned in bright blue in his usual neat if miniscule script, Bacheller sends this admirer "Thanks for your kind good wishes and the little book, so well written, which I have read with interest...." Gates almost certainly sent him a copy of his 1941 booklet "Amberglow of Abraham Lincoln and Joshua Speed.
