MORRIS, Gouverneur. - Yellow Men and Gold.

NY, Dodd Mead 1911. Octavo publisher's cloth blocked in white and blind; illustrated dustwrapper with a large piece gone from the front, professionally repaired by the look of it around the edges; six duotone plates, smaller illustrations by Charles Falls. A rather good copy. ¶ First edition of this rip-roaring thriller in which the Yellow Men are not the malevolent peril but brave, stalwart and devoted to their elected captain Bessie who, it is suggested, has a touch of Africa in her veins. Still, despite the shocking reversal of roles in a thriller of the period, there's more than enough racism to go round. Or as any character might say, "Plentee dam lacist."The wimp in glasses on the dustwrapper looks quite like Morris.
