THE BONUS MARCH AND THE NEW DEAL

by John Henry Bartlett

M. A. Donahue & Co., First Edition, 1937

Condition: Near Very Good

 

"This book is intended to show that the eviction of the so-called 'Bonus Soldiers" from Washington was political, and that eviction became a political necessity for the Administration in power when once it had decided on a policy of "No Bonus" and "No Federal Aid  for Anyone"." [quote from from author's Preface]  128 pages, plus 18 photo plates. Signed, dated ("1-10-'38") and inscribed to "Supt. Ballou on ffep. (That was Frank W. Ballou, then-Superintendent of Washington schools, who encouraged the city's students to each contribute a nickel for the building of the DC World War Memorial in 1931.) Moderate corner & spine end wear and fading on spine, some spotting on side page edges, short edge tear on one page, page darkening (heavy on end papers, light on text pages).

 

Out of print book -- in fact, there appears to have been only this one edition.  Thus, quite scarce.
