196025992New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons. Near Fine in Very Good dj. c.1961 1960. Fireside BCE. Hardcover. agency name rubber-stamped on both pastedowns otherwise a nice clean book with minimal shelfwear; jacket browned along spine and a little bit at the edges tiny tears at a couple of corners. Musical play "based on the story of the illiterate girl from Hannibal Missouri who married Leadville Johnny Brown a gangling Irish prospector and discoverer of one of the richest silver mines in Colorado" and her ambition to be accepted by Denver society which leads her to a successful effort to establish herself as a presence in Paris whereupon she heads back to rejoin her husband in Colorado. Unfortunately her return trip is on the Titanic the disastrous sinking of which she survives hence becoming known forevermore as "unsinkable." The original 1960 Broadway production starred Tammy Grimes who won a Tony Award and toured with the play for a couple of years but was supplanted for the 1964 film version by Debbie Reynolds; Harve Presnell as Molly's husband appeared in both the original play and the movie which was pretty much the high point of both his stage and film career although he had a pretty decent late-in-life run as a grizzled character actor. NOTE that in the typical fashion of published musical plays the text of this volume contains the song lyrics but not the music. . G.P. Putnam's Sons hardcover books

Very light dampstain along the fore-edge margin. <br /><br />Charles L. Robinson was an abolitionist leader who settled in Lawrence and worked for the New England Emigrant Aid Society which transported Free-Staters from the northeast to settle in the Kansas Territory and successfully swung the balance of power from pro-slavery advocates. He was instrumental in organizing voter fraud and intimidating pro-slavery voters which resulted in the Topeka Convention of 1856 electing Free-Staters into all important governing positions with himself as governor and creating a free-state constitution. The Topeka Convention was roundly criticized and eventually rejected by Congress and within three months President Franklin Pierce proclaimed the Topeka Government to be revolutionary and ordered the arrest of its leaders including Robinson. <br /><br />This polka was composed by one of Robinson's long-time friends from Fitchburg Massachusetts and published in the short time between his 'election' as governor and subsequent arrest as a revolutionary. <br /><br />At time of listing OCLC locates one copy of this title. None are for sale in the trade and the Rare Book Hub shows no auction records. <br /><br /> Andrew Whitney books
