ROGERS, Will. THE ILLITERATE DIGEST. New York: Albert & Charles Boni,
1924. First Edition. Blue cloth. Illustrated with drawings. INSCRIBED
and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper nearly filling the page:
"To/J.C. Calhoun/a Friend/from/Will Rogers/(almost an author)/New York.
Nov 15, 24." Rogers was born in Indian Territory in 1879 and had some
Native American blood in his veins. He began in vaudeville and moved on
to motion pictures, a career that was cut short when he died in a small
plane crash in 1935 near Point Barrow, Alaska. Perhaps he was best
known, however, for his syndicated newspaper column which had such a
massive following that the proposition that he run for President was
once seriously advanced. His saying, "All I know is what I read in the
newspapers," became a popular catchword of the times. Books signed or
inscribed by this most popular of American humorists and member of the
Cherokee Nation, especially with such a fine inscription, are uncommon.
