A propos de cet article

First edition, first printing (per publisher's "1" designation upon copyright page) DATED, INSCRIBED, AND SIGNED BY U.S. REPRESENTATIVE FRANK W. BOYKIN. xii, 404 pages. Hardcover: H 21.5cm x L 14.25cm. Dust jacket rubbed and soiled with latter strongest to white rear panel; stain at lower spine with shallow overlap into adjacent front panel; light foxing to rear flap; scuffs and short tears at edges; front flap retains publisher's printed price at top right; dj now presented in a mylar Brodart protector. Gray cloth spine foxed; bluish-gray boards; spine ends and board corners bumped. Muted pink top edge; several small light stains to fore-edge. Page-long scrawled ink inscription "June 15/57 | For Our Beloved Dear | Friend's | Judge + Mrs. E.T. "Short" Millsap. | God Bless you and yours | forever!! | Ocllo and Frank W. Boykin | MC. | 1st Dist. Alabama" on front pastedown and partially hidden underneath dj front flap. Light interior foxing mostly occurring to book's unpaged b/w plates and their adjacent pages; interior leaves are otherwise clean. Binding is firm. Uncommon biography of yet another traitorous U.S. Nay turncoat and postwar Lost Cause advocate Raphael Semmes whose Civil War command of the raider screw sloop-of-war CSS Alabama was immensely successful against unarmed merchant ships but with a much less impressive record against warships as proven by the Alabama's resting spot. To avenge Semmes' wartime raiding, several shrimp conspired to cause him such gastrointestinal harm that he passed on August 30, 1877. Mobile, Alabama businessman Frank Boykin served in the U.S. House of Representatives from July 30, 1935 to January 3, 1963. Cursory internet sleuthing failed to turn up an immediate family connection between Virginia-rooted author Edward Boykin and Alabama-rooted Congressman Boykin so perhaps the book's selection as a gift lay more with the Alabama related subject matter than the surname circumstance. Inscribees are Eugene Temple Millsap, aka Short Millsap, (1890-1963) who served as Probate Judge and unofficial political boss in Monroe County, Alabama from 1944-1963 and wife Kitty Sue Hixon Millsap (1897-1980). Judge Millsap was the subject of a biography published in 2019 and the book was acquired from the estate of his son, Montgomery, Alabama architect Eugene Temple Millsap Jr. (1923-2007), and wife Sallie Watkins Wood Millsap (1929-2025).…
