About This Item
HERBERT HOOVER (1874-1964). Hoover was the Thirty-first President. SB. 45pg. 1930. No place [presumably Connecticut]. A book, Our President Herbert Hoover, signed by the eleven year old author William Marsh, Jr. and his younger brother Charles. The Marsh brothers inscribed on the copyright page, in their youthful handwriting, “Best wishes to Mr. Paul E. Tanner, from the author William J. Marsh Jr. July 11, 1930 Helper Charles Marsh August 28, 1930”. This may be the Presidential biography with the youngest authors. Some contemporary newspaper articles note that the President is anxiously awaiting his copy. It is in the original gray dustjacket, though the jacket’s spine in missing. There is some minor staining on the inside. A great Presidential artifact.
