1944 \"Harper\'s Magazine\" Bernard DeVoto Hand Signed Letter Author Pulitzer-Prize
The signed 8.25 x 5.25 was dated November 5, 1944 and is on DeVoto\'s personal stationary. There is a stain from a paper clip.
Bernard Augustine DeVoto (January 11, 1897 – November 13, 1955) was an American historian, conservationist, essayist, columnist, teacher, editor, and reviewer. He was the author of a series of Pulitzer-Prize-winning popular histories of the American West and for many years wrote The Easy Chair, an influential column in Harper\'s Magazine. DeVoto also wrote several well-regarded novels and during the 1950s served as a speech-writer for Adlai Stevenson. His friend and biographer, Wallace Stegner described DeVoto as \"flawed, brilliant, provocative, outrageous, ... often wrong, often spectacularly right, always stimulating, sometimes infuriating, and never, never dull.\"
This is part of a large collection of autographs that I will be listing over the next couple of days.
