1961. First Edition. Fine hardcover in lightly scuffed dustwrapper. Illustrated with photographs. Richard Harding Davis became much the more lastingly famous author when he followed in the footsteps of his mother, Rebecca Harding Davis. Rebecca's "Life in the Iron Mills" is a landmark of realism and social protest. Handsome Richard was the model for Charles Dana Gibson's dashing "Gibson man" in book and calendar illustrations, then a world-hopping war correspondent, and his second wife was Vaudeville beauty whose signature number "Yama Yama Man" is still frequently performed with jazz banjo.
