Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1929. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR on front endpage, a full-page inscription: "My Very Dear Will Hays: There is no man in the world whom I'd have rather have read this little book of mine than yourself, and none whose judgment of it I should more highly prize; because there is none who loved George Harvey better or knew him more truly than did you. If in reading these pages you should feel even a touch of the thrill that was mine in writing them, I should be greatly gratified in the knowledge that there has been established a three-fold chain of memory, binding us together in our mutual love for him, binding us anew to him, and binding us all three to that unforgettable past. 'When every morning brought a noble chance, and every chance brought out a noble Knight'. Always faithfully yours, Willis Fletcher Johnson March, 1931".

This book is in good condition. There is some wear on the front, back, spine, edges and corner of the cover. There is some dog-earring on the right corner pages of the book. The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art

The pages are yellowed and tanned. There are also markings throughout the book. "The roots of this book reach back to the early 1950s in Paris, where I began my professional career as a journalist. France, supported by the United States, was then fighting to retain its hold in Indochina against the Vietminh, the Communist-led nationalist movement there. As I reported on the French end of the war, I soon became acquainted with the names and places in Vietnam from a distance, But I scarcely imagined that they were to be part of my own experience. Then, in 1959, I was assigned to cover eastern Asia; the region that included Vietnam became my beat for more than two decades. I visited Vietnam most recently in 1981 for seven weeks, the longest permitted an American correspondent since the Communists gained control of the entire…
