THE MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY. Edward Everett Hale. 1865 First Edition.

Description: HALE, Edward Everett. The Man Without a Country. Boston: Ticknor and Fields, 1865. Original printed pink self-wrappers; pp. 23. I took photographs of practically all of the booklet to show worn and aged shape. I would use "fair" to "good" to describe overall condition. Priced to sell. Column applied to back page still attached. First edition, first issue, of Hale’s classic tale of American patriotism, in original wrappers. Contrary to popular belief, Hale’s story was not based on fact, but was instead “inspired by the remark of Congressman Vallandigham that he did not wish to live in a country that supported Lincoln’s administration, and was written to arouse patriotism during the Civil War” (Hendrickson, 95). “One of the best short stories written by an American, and representing Hale at his best as a writer of fiction with a purpose” (DAB). The story was first published in The Atlantic Monthly in December 1863.
