1934 1st ed Herbert Hoover SIGNED Challenge to Liberty on Franklin Roosevelt
"Children are our greatest natural resource."
― Herbert Hoover
Herbert Hoover was the 31st President of the United States known for his business plans during the Great Depression. Shortly following his presidency and retirement from politics, he published 'The Challenge to Liberty' which was a harsh, critical work of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, calling much of Roosevelt's plans 'fascist'! According to Polenberg,
"Hoover raised an important issue when he claimed that big government would attempt to protect itself from criticism by blocking the free flow of information and therefore represented an insidious threat to freedom of speech and the press."
This 1934 first edition is signed by author and former president Herbert Hoover!

1843 INDIANS 1ed History of Backwoods Ohio Shawnee French Indian War Frontier
"One of the best compilations of frontier narratives!" (Howes)
A.W. Patterson's "History of the Backwoods" is a rare, 19th-century account of frontier life in the American west. This book covers some of the earliest settlements in Western Pennsylvania and Ohio. Though, perhaps the best resource this book offers is the numerous accounts of interactions with Native American Indian tribes – tribes including the Massawomees, the Allegawe, Delawares, and Shawnees. Patterson also covers major battles in the French and Indian War.
Thomson says of this work:
"a rare book of Western History…a perfectly reliable narrative of events in the West arranged chronologically from the earliest discoveries of the French to Wayne's victory."
