The style is my own the material was furnished on the Border. The scenes through which I passed were in some respects supremely ridiculous and must be laughable; there were others which were inhuman and must therefore excite horror. To write of events in any other manner than that in which they occurred would not be a true history - Author's Advertisement." Howes M175; Graff 2645; Wagner-Camp-Becker 277. McNamara preached the gospel in northwest Missouri before accepting a call to a church in Chicago in 1853. In 1854 he was appointed as a missionary to the Kansas Territory. He started a parish at Ft. Leavenworth. "A vehement abolitionist he became involved in a heated argument with the post commander and was banned from the fort - KANZAS: The Territorial Years A K-State Libraries exhibit." McNamara became an arch-foe of W. P. Richardson General of the Kansas Militia and a flaming pro-slavery advocate.

Signed and inscribed on the front endpaper by Tuskegee Airman Roger C. Terry to Inez along with a second inscription perhaps from another airman but I can't make it out well enough to verify. Photo shows both signatures. A good copy with Wear at the edges and bending and scuffing at the spine tips. Smells lightly of incense from the previous owner. Binding solid and text clean and unmarked. 160 pp. filled with black and white photos of the airmen and their planes. A great little book nicely signed. Terry went on to challenge officer segregation in the Freeman Field officer's club incident.</p> Tuskegee Airmen, Inc., Los Angeles Chapter hardcover
