Description:
First edition deluxe issue (only a small number were so bound for her personal use; regular trade copies were issued in blue cloth). Octavo. Edited by his daughter Anna Eleanor Roosevelt. Original 1/2 vellum over blue boards, t.e.g. Acetate dust jacket. Publisher's slipcase (cracked; lightly soiled). Fine, fresh copy. Inscribed by Eleanor Roosevelt to her eldest son in black fountain pen ink on the verso of the frontispiece: "To my son James / Dec. 23rd 1932." Eleanor Roosevelt was orphaned early in life, her mother having died first, followed by her father when she was nine. During her lifetime, various relatives and friends returned her father's letters to her, and so in 1932, as her husband was campaigning for and elected to the Presidency, Mrs. Roosevelt published this collection of her father's letters which deal mostly with hunting big game in Africa. Provenance: from the estate of James Roosevelt.
