Author: WATTERSON, Henry
Title: Marse Henry": An Autobiography
Description: New York, George H. Doran Company, 1919. Hardcover. Complete 2-volume set. 8vo. Original green cloth with gilt lettering. xiii, 315pp; ix, 314pp. Frontispiece, illustrations. Very good. Almost a "Near fine," but just the slightest hint of faint edgewear. Tight and handsome fitrst edition of this memoir by the legendary, Pulitzer Prize-winning Louisville "Courier-Journal" editor (1840-1921). It disappointed historian Robert W. Johannsen, who sniffed, "These memoirs by an editor-politician throw little light on Watterson's enigmatic army career during the war." A surprisingly difficult set to find in such choice condition. NEVINS II, 99. .
