WISTER, Owen. LADY BALTIMORE Inscribed to John Philip Sousa. New York: 
MacMillan & Company, 1906. First Edition. Decorated cloth with thirteen 
full-page illustrations by Vernon Howe Bailey and Lester Ralph. Author 
of THE VIRGINIAN, the classic novel of the West that helped to create 
the idealized perception of the cowboy's life and that influenced 
countless authors of westerns, Wister graduated from Harvard with 
highest honors in music. He advanced his studies in music in Paris where 
he was encouraged by Franz Liszt. While Wister never pursued a career in 
music, his studies in that field certainly brought him into contact with 
prominent musicians and composers. This book reflects Wister's interest 
and wide range of contacts as he has INSCRIBED and SIGNED it to John 
Philip Sousa in May 1907 on the verso of the frontispiece. Slight 
blurring to the date but a clear, fine inscription from a truly American 
writer to a like composer. Light rubbing. Near Fine. (#008159)        
$1,000.00
