ROGERS, Will. ROGERS-ISMS. THE COWBOY PHILOSOPHER ON PROHIBITION. New
York: Harper & Brothers, (1919). First Edition. Decorated green and
white boards lettered in black. Illustrated with a frontispiece of
Rogers. The great American humorist's take on Prohibition. SIGNED with
the notation "Sincerely yours" by the author on the front endpaper.
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 are uncommon. Light wear to the corners and the tips of
the spine which is sunned. Very Good, lacking a dustwrapper.
