NY, Boni, 1924. The second book by this Cherokee author who was born and grew up in the Cherokee Nation and whose father had served in the Second Cherokee Confederate Regiment during the Civil War and later been a delegate to Washington for the Southern Cherokees. Will Rogers got his start as a humorist in vaudeville and performed in Ziegfeld's Follies from 1914 to 1924, taking time off only to appear in movies. At the time of the publication of this book, he was perhaps the most well-known humorist and one of the most well-known political satirists in the country, and he had had a weekly column in the Sunday New York Times for the past two years. Owner name front flyleaf; spine cloth much faded and beginning to fray at the fold; still about very good, lacking the dust jacket. [#002630] SOLD
