Hagedorn, Hermann, THE ROAD TO LIBERTY AND HOW ZACH PETERS FOUND IT, Chicago: The John C. Winston Company, 1928. 1st ed. teal blue cloth hardcover w/black titling, gilt stamp of The Constitution of New Jersey on front board, 8vo (8.0625x5.5?), very good/n.a., 142pp. Very light wear to head and tail of spine, corners gently bumped, pictorial front and rear paste-downs and fly-leaves, with a presentation page dedicated to one Dorothy Pooler of the Bound Brook School District, light foxing primarily to front matter and white space on color frontis of The Liberty Bell?s First Note ? 1753, gently age-toned throughout. The tome is apparently an 8th grade presentation gift to Ms. Pooler, a lesson in the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence told in ten apparently fictional stories of the adventures of one Zach Peters. At the rear of the book, in spaces provided for such, are the signatures of all, or nearly all, of her 1930 classmates. Quite the interesting tome of a long-ago world ? a distinctive book indeed.
