Descripción

Neatly signed, without inscription, by William O. Douglas upon half-title page. Stated first edition. xiv, 338 pages. Glossary. Map endpapers. Black and white photographic frontis portrait of author. "A book of personal adventure and discovery. An account of the way Douglas - and other men - found a richer life in the rugged mountains of the Pacific Northwest where a man can 'find deep solitude and, under conditions of grandeur that are startling, he can come to know both himself and God'". - from dust jacket. Douglas was nominated to the U.S. Supreme court by FDR and served the longest term in its history, 1939-1975. Average wear to unmarked book. Binding sound. Above-average wear to dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. Includes two detailed newsclippings circa 1930s about Walla Walla pioneer George T. Welch. Also included is a 1969 newsclipping in which Douglas explains how and why a man changes when he becomes a member of the Supreme Court. Book
