George Hearst Book With Compliments Slip From William Randolph Hearst; Phoebe Apperson Hearst Slip With Errata Slip. Both In Custom Slipcase With Two Compartments. Very Near Fine No Marks No Warping To Covers. Per Wikipedia George Hearst September 3 1820 - February 28 1891 Was An American Businessman Miner And Politician. After Growing Up On A Small Farm In Missouri He Founded Many Mining Operations And Is Particularly Known For Developing And Expanding The Homestake Mine In The Late 1870S In The Black Hills Of South Dakota. In 1879 He Listed It On The New York Stock Exchange And Went On To Other Pursuits. The Mine Operated Continuously Producing Gold Until 2001. His Company Grew To Be The Largest Private Mining Firm In The United States And Had Huge Investments In Mexico And Peru Mines. Hearst Acquired The Reputation Of Being The Most Expert Prospector And Judge Of Mining Property On The Pacific Coast. He Contributed To The Development Of The Modern Processes Of Quartz And OtherVague Kinds Of Mining. George Hearst Acquired The San Francisco Examiner Newspaper As A Sign Of Loyalty To His Friends By Accepting It As Payment For A Gambling Debt Owed To Him. He Primarily Used The Examiner To Promote The Interests Of The Democratic Party And To Laud The Party's Initiatives Especially When They Were Under Public Attack. After Settling In San Francisco In The Early 1860S Hearst Became A Politician First Representing San Francisco In The State Legislature For One Term. He Also Maintained Mining Interests Through His Company. Hearst Was Appointed As A United States Senator In 1886 To Fill A Vacancy And Was Elected As A Democrat Later That Year On His Own Account. He Served In The Senate From 1887 To His Death In 1891. His Only Child From His Late Marriage At Age 40 Was His Son William Randolph Hearst Who Became Internationally Known As A Newspaperman And Publisher And Was A Primary Inspiration For Orson Welles' 1941 Film Citizen Kane. As Quoted In The Book On His Vote In The Senate "If People Can't Afford To Buy Butter Let Them Buy Oleomargarine". His Lifelong Focus On The Physical Basis Of Money Silver And Gold Rather Than The Manufacture Of Useful Items And His Lifelong Concern With Politicking Made Him One Of The Most Successful Admired And Richest Americans And Financed The Career Of His Son William Randolph Hearst Producer Of The Worthless Imperialist And Sometimes Successfully War-Mongering New York Journalism Of His Son Who Is Also Not Known To Have Ever Produced Anything Original And Of Value. <br/> <br/> John Henry Nash 1928, 1933 hardcover
