[Back Creek Books]

Greetings Booklovers,

We are pleased to offer:
~
(No. 9203 )  Cathey, James H[arrison]. (1866-1929). TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN 
FICTION; OR THE TRUE GENESIS OF A WONDERFUL MAN.
(S.l.): (s.n.), (1899). First printing, Original cloth, Sixteenmo, 185 
pages, Black & White photographs. Very Good.
      Cathey's research and findings regarding the tradition of Abraham 
Lincoln's birth in Western North Carolina from an alleged union of Nancy 
Hanks and one Abraham Enloe. Numerous photographs illustrate the striking 
physical resemblance of Lincoln to the Enloes--particularly to would-be 
half-brother Wesley M. Enloe. Makes an interesting case. Scarce. MONAGHAN 
#1243. Bound in red cloth over boards with gilt-stamped lettering on upper 
board, blind-stamped borders and ornaments on both boards, decorated 
endpapers, marbled textblock edges. There is a stain across top 2 cm of head 
of spine, a few other scattered marks to exterior, minor extremity rubs, and 
shallow bumps at spine ends. The hinges are not cracked, interior is clean 
and bright.    $175.00
