BOOKS  He who sells a soul a book Gives that soul a sweeping look Through its pages Down the Ages;

Gives that soul a ship to sail Where the great adventures hail, On the sea Of destiny;

Gives that soul a vision-wide As the skies where stars abide And the far Lone planets are;

Gives that soul great dreams to Dream! Sunlit ways that glint and gleam

 Where great Sages Tramp the Ages!   WILLIAM LE ROY STIDGER

A real book is not one that we read, but one that reads us.   WYSTAN HUGH AUDEN

He who works with his hands is a laborer, He who works with his hands and his head is an artisan,

But he who works with his hands, his head, and his heart is an artist.  LOUIS NIZER

1 Davis, Richard Harding Once Upon a Time
New York Charles Scribner's & Sons 1912 Reprint Edition Hard Cover Very Good No Jacket 
FRONTISPIECE ILLUSTRATED "Davis was born on April 18, 1864. His mother Rebecca Harding Davis was a prominent writer in her day. He made his reputation as a newspaper reporter in May to June 1889, by reporting on the devastation of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, following the infamous flood. He added to his reputation by reporting on other events, like the first electrocution of a criminal (the death of William Kemmler in 1890). Davis became a managing editor of Harper's Weekly, and was one of the world's leading war correspondents at the time of the Second Boer War in South Africa. As an American, he had the unique opportunity to see the war first-hand from both the British and Boer perspectives. Davis also worked as a reporter for the New York Herald, The Times, and Scribner's Magazine. He was popular among the leading writers of his time, and is considered the model for illustrator Charles Dana Gibson's dashing Gibson man, the male equivalent of his famous Gibson Girl. He is also mentioned early in Sinclair Lewis's book Dodsworth as the example of an exciting, adventure-seeking legitimate hero. During the Spanish-American War, Davis was on a U.S. Navy ship when he witnessed the shelling of Matanzas, Cuba, a part of the Santiago campaign. Davis' story made headlines, but as a result, the Navy prohibited reporters from being aboard any U.S. ship for the rest of the war. Richard Harding Davis was a good friend of Teddy Roosevelt, and he helped create the legend surrounding the Rough Riders, for which he was made an honorary member. Some have even gone so far to accuse Davis of involvement in William Randolph Hearst's alleged plot to start a war between Spain and the United States in order to boost newspaper sales; however, Davis refused to work for Hearst after a dispute over fictionalizing one of this articles. Despite his alleged association with Yellow journalism, his writings of life and travel in Central America, the Caribbean, Rhodesia, South Africa during the Second Boer War were widely published. He was amongst the war correspondents who covered the Russo-Japanese War from the perspective of the Japanese forces. Davis reported on the Salonika Front of the First World War. A plaque denoting his boyhood home can be seen at 21st and Chancellor Streets in Philadelphia. He attended the Episcopal Academy, and then later Lehigh University and Johns Hopkins. He was married twice, first to Cecil Clark Lewis, an artist, and then to Bessie McCoy, the Vaudeville star who is remembered for her Yama Yama Man routine. He and Bessie had a daughter, Hope. Davis' "Gallegher and Other Stories" became the series "Gallegher", starring Roger Mobley, Edmond O'Brien, and Harvey Korman on Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color on NBC."

4 Davis, Richard Harding The King's Jackal
New York Charles Scribner's & Sons 1904 Reprint Edition Hard Cover Very Good No Jacket Charles Dana Gibson 
FRONTISPIECE ILLUSTRATED "Richard Harding Davis (April 18, 1864 - April 11, 1916) was a journalist and writer of fiction and drama, known foremost as the first American war correspondent to cover the Spanish-American War, the Second Boer War, and the First World War. His writing greatly assisted the political career of Theodore Roosevelt and he also played a major role in the evolution of the American magazine. His influence extended to the world of fashion and he is credited with making the clean-shaven look popular among men at the turn of the 20th century....His father found him his first position as a journalist at the Philadelphia Record but he was soon dismissed. After another brief position at the Philadelphia Press, he accepted a better-paying position at the New York Evening Sun where he gained attention for his flamboyant style and his writing on controversial subjects such as abortion, suicide and execution. He first attracted attention in May to June 1889, by reporting on the devastation of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, following the infamous flood and added to his reputation by reporting on other noteworthy events such as the FIRST electrocution of a criminal (the execution of William Kemmler in 1890)."
