About This Item
[Chicago?]: [Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States], 1885. First Edition. Wraps. Minor creases and bumps. Near Fine. Printed light blue-green wraps; 7 pages. INSCRIBED and SIGNED at the top of the front cover "To Edward W. Bok/With all regard/R. B. Hayes" by the President. The Loyal Legion was formed on 15 April 1865, the day of Abraham Lincoln's death. In his three-page address, Hayes says of the Civil War that it accomplished all: "It established the Union; it maintained the supremacy of the General Government; it abolished slavery.... The brave men of the South who fought against us are now ready with us to stand guard around the couch and the home of the illustrious soldier by whom they were beaten." Edward W. Bok was the influential editor of the LADIES' HOME JOURNAL for three decades. He won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for Biography for his book THE AMERICANIZATION OF EDWARD BOK: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A DUTCH BOY FIFTY YEARS LATER.
