[Rarebooks] FS: SIGNED Will Rogers on Peace

[Charles Agvent]

ROGERS, Will. ROGERS-ISMS. THE COWBOY PHILOSOPHER ON THE PEACE 
CONFERENCE. New York: Harper & Brothers, (1919). First Edition. 
Decorated orange and white boards lettered in black. Illustrated with a 
frontispiece of Rogers. According to the front cover, "You can't tell 
Peace from War without this Book" and "I made this book short so you 
could finish it before the next war." INSCRIBED "To Mr. S. D. Green" and 
SIGNED "Will Rogers" with the notation "Amateur 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.
