Davenport, IA: The club, 1940. First edition. 8vo. 23 pp. Inscribed (by the author?) "To Gayle from Uncle." Bollinger left his valuable Lincoln collection to the University of Iowa when he died in 1951. OCLC locates nine copies of this essay. (Occidental, California-San Diego, Davenport Public, Iowa, Bradley, Illinois-Chicago, Bridgewater State, Oakland, Lincoln Memorial), but apparently lacking in all the major research libraries located in the Cotton Belt. Old tideline in bottom margin of text, else very good. Original silver-stamped black cloth, floral endpapers. (#8188). Item #61257
