Hofstadter, Richard. The American Political Tradition and the Men Who Made It

Regular price $450

Shipping calculated at checkout.

New York: Knopf, 1948. First Edition.

Inscribed to Bill Smith and signed by Hofstadter.  While not definitively established, the recipient could be fellow historian William E(rnest) Smith, whose work The Francis Preston Blair Family in Politics is cited by Hostadter as a source and influence on his interpretations on anti-bank views (pages 355-56).

Some pencil annotations sprinkled sporadically throughout the book.  A very good copy married to later printing dust wrapper.
