New Viewpoints in Georgia History

Athens Georgia: University of Georgia Press, 1943. First Edition. . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. VG/VG/1st ed./signed. This is an unusual copy. This book originally belonged to Margaret Davis Cate, an important Coastal Georgia historian, and her name is boldly written, which was her habit, across the top of the front free endpaper. I bought this book at a sale of decommissioned Fort Frederica books, some of which came from her library. Under her sprawled name is Dr. Saye's inscription in the tiniest cursvise lettering: "to Mrs. Cate, whose work I admire" Albert B. Saye Jan. 12, 1952." The book is clean and tight, but has Presentation Label that has been marked out , a marked out line on the title page( which I'm sure said the Margaret Davis Cate Library, Fort Frederica National Monument). There are occassional notes made in pencil, a sentence underlined in pencil here and there, and there are a couple of Fort Frederica stamps in the pages(in the margins) and one on the back paste down. The binding is solid and secure, no dirt or other markings. There's no break in the cloth over the boards, and the gilt title on the spine is easily read. 256pp., First Edition. Notes, bibliography and an index. Dust Jacket has a small open tear at top of spine, a couple of chips at the bottom of the spine. There is some light all over soiling on jacket, price not clipped. An interesting copy with an pretty good story about two of Georgia's distinguished historians.
