About This Item
Manhattan, KS : Sunflower Press, 1997 Sunflower Press, Manhattan, KS. 1997. Softcover/Trade Wraps. First Edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Very Good; light edge and tip bumping. No DJ. Pictorial card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 324 pp 8vo. Written by Hope's son, this book is a tribute to the widely respected U.S. Representative who was not afraid to tell people what he thought on major issues. He spoke out against the Ku Klux Klan in the early 1920s and in 1948, in an election year, wrote in support of President Truman's civil rights program-despite some constituents' thoughts to the contrary. He supported Truman's firing of GEN MacArthur, and despite pressure, opposed the Republican Party line on occasion. He represented the 7th Congressional District of Kansas from 1927 to 1957. A clean very presentable copy.
