Eleanor Roosevelt
This I Remember signed by James Roosevelt eldest son of the author and President Franklin D. Roosevelt
<p>New York: Harper & Brothers 1949. First edition. Hardcover. This first edition of Eleanor Roosevelts 1884-1962 memoir spanning her husbands governorship of New York to his death in 1945 at the beginning of his fourth presidential term is signed James Roosevelt by her son on the front free endpaper recto. <br /><br />The binding is medium blue cloth with a dark blue spine label printed in gilt and bracketed by triple gilt rules and with Eleanor Roosevelts facsimile signature in black on the lower front cover. The contents feature deckled fore edges. An illustrated dust jacket in red gold white and black features a portrait of Eleanor by Yousuf Karsh on the front face. <br /><br />Condition is very good in a very good dust jacket. The blue cloth binding is square and tight with sharp corners. The chief defects are light overall mottling of the cloth and minor shelf wear to extremities. The contents remain respectably bright with no spotting and no previous ownership marks other than the authors sons signature. Lest there be any doubt FIRST EDITION is helpfully printed on the copyright page. Differential toning of the endpapers and pastedowns corresponding to the dust jacket flaps confirms that this copy has spent life jacketed. The dust jacket is unclipped retaining the original $4.50 front flap price and substantially complete with only fractional chipping to the joint and flap fold extremities. The jacket shows light overall scuffing mild spine toning and modest edge wear and is newly fitted with a clear removable archival cover. <br /><br />James Roosevelt 1907-1991 was the eldest son of Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt. James made a substantial fortune in the insurance industry before serving as an aid to his father. During the Second World War James served in secret diplomatic missions before requesting reassignment to combat duty where he became a decorated U.S. Marine. James later served five terms as a U.S. Congressman from California 1955-1965 after which he became United States representative to the United Nations Economic and Social Council and subsequently an executive with the Investors Overseas Services before it collapsed after embezzlement. During his long life four marriages and sometimes scandal-plagued career James tried his hand at a number of professions including both Hollywood producer and author. <br /><br />This I Remember picks up where Eleanors earlier memoir This Is My Story left off. What differentiates Eleanors biographies from those of many other prominent figures is that each word was actually composed by her. A favorable New York Times review said it is shockingly delightful to read a book which could have been written by absolutely no one else in the world than the great and important figure whose name is signed to it which is flavorful characteristic and moving. Prior to its publication through McCalls Eleanor offered the manuscript to Ladies Home Journal which profitably serialized This Is My Story. However the editors were dissatisfied with the writing in the manuscript and suggested that she take on a collaborator to write it. She declined and McCalls published it instead to commercial success. <br /><br />When her husband Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected in 1932 Eleanor had already made a name for herself in Democratic politics. Eleanor decided to transform the hitherto mostly social and apolitical role of First Lady. And after her husbands death Eleanor did not withdraw into widowhood. It was her husbands successor President Harry S. Truman who called Eleanor First Lady of the World for her humanitarian work. Eleanor became the first US Representative to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights and remained a prolific writer including dozens of books hundreds of articles and editorials and a daily newspaper column from 1936-1962. Transcending her role as mere first lady Eleanor became a fearless international champion of progressive causes and perhaps the most influential American woman of the twentieth century.

Eleanor Roosevelt
This I Remember
<p>"First Lady of the World" is how President Harry Truman referred to Eleanor Roosevelt. At roughly the same time J. Edgar Hoover thought Eleanor might be a Communist. But as author and intellectual Garry Wills wrote "there was nothing radical about her either in temperament or principle. She would not join in civil rights activities if they included civil disobedience."</p><p>Eleanor Roosevelt beautifully signed card with The White House Washington engraved in top right corner see picture. Card is very neatly mounted on half title page. Book is very good condition generally toned throughout and price clipped. Dust jacket also very good with tears on top of binding and smaller chips on bottom of binding. Front and back of dust jacket are in very good condition see pictures. Protected by Brodart book jacket cover.</p><p>"This I Remember" is Eleanor Roosevelt's recollections of the years preceding FDR's first term as Governor Of NYS to the day of his death during his 4th term as President of the United States. She is considered by many to be America's most inspiring and influential first lady. She stated "When you cease to make a contribution you begin to die." </p><p>The arrival of Eleanor Roosevelt as First Lady transformed the post into its current energetic activist incarnation. Despite leaving The White House more than 75 years ago Eleanor Roosevelt is still ranked first among all other women who have served as America's First Ladies. </p><p>Another of her most famous quotes was a remark she made to VP Harry Truman. Truman had been Vice President for 82 days when President Roosevelt died on April 12 1945. Truman presiding over the Senate as usual had just adjourned the session for the day and was preparing to have a drink in House Speaker Sam Rayburn's office when he received an urgent message to go immediately to the White House where Eleanor Roosevelt told him that her husband had died after a massive cerebral hemorrhage. Truman asked her if there was anything he could do for her; she replied "Is there anything we can do for you For you are the one in trouble now!" </p><p>Mrs. Roosevelt took up many different social and cultural causes during her travels across the nation holding press conferences hosting radio programs and writing newspaper columns along the way.</p><p><br /></p> Harper & Brothers hardcover

Eleanor Roosevelt
This Is My Story signed by Eleanor Roosevelt
New York: Harper & Brothers 1937. First edition second printing. Hardcover. This is a signed first edition presumed second printing of the first of Eleanor Roosevelts biographical writings followed by 1949s This I Remember and 1958s On My Own. On the half title page below the printed title she signed Eleanor Roosevelt in black ink. The copyright page neither explicitly states First Edition nor makes mention of further printings. Since we have observed that the third printing was so-stated on the copyright page we speculate that this is a second printing of the first edition. <br /> <br />Condition is good plus in a good plus dust jacket. The light blue cloth binding is square tight and unfaded though slightly mottled with shelf wear including a few dents to the bottom edges and a hint of sunning to the edges where sun snuck past the dust jacket. The publishers name HARPER is ghosted onto the spine from the dust jacket. The contents are clean with no previous ownership marks and light spotting confined to the endpapers. Differential toning of the endpapers corresponding to the dust jacket flaps confirms that this copy has spent life jacketed. The dust jacket front flap is neatly price-clipped but the jacket is otherwise substantially complete and respectably bright with only the slight color shift between the gold and blue fields on the spine and front face. The jacket shows edge wear and moderate overall scuffing most notably a roughly 1.25 x 1 inch 3.18 x 2.54 cm abrasion to the upper left of the front face not affecting any text or images. The dust jacket is protected beneath a clear removable archival cover. <br /> <br />This first of Eleanor Roosevelts memoirs covers her early years and family up until the 1924 Democratic Convention and was originally serialized in Ladies Home Journal. The book was written in 1936 and published in 1937. Herein Eleanor simply and frankly discloses her personal narrative and gives cause and context to the liberal influence which anchored her life and politics. <br /> <br />Called First Lady of the World by President Truman for her humanitarian work Eleanor Roosevelt 1884-1962 was the first US Representative to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights a prolific writer including dozens of books hundreds of articles and editorials and a daily newspaper column from 1936-1962 and the longest-serving first lady of the United States. <br /> <br />When her husband Franklin Delano Roosevelt was running for president in the fall of 1932 as the likely election winner Eleanor had already independently made for herself a name in Democratic politics as a spokesperson for the newly enfranchised woman voter labor advocate in the midst of the Great Depression a vocal promoter of civil rights and the head of the Womens Division of the Democratic National Committee since 1928. She feared her impending role as First Lady a heretofore purely social and apolitical role would necessitate a quieting of her convictions and force her to step down from her political positions; she even told friends that she would divorce FDR should he win rather than lose her independence. <br /> <br />After FDRs unprecedented victory securing 42 of 48 states Eleanor made the decision to transform her new position rather than yield to it. She did so and in so doing
she became a fearless international champion of progressive causes and perhaps the most influential American woman of the twentieth century. ANB. <br /> <br />Eleanors famous partnership with Franklin D. Roosevelt ended with FDRs death in April 1945 at the start of his fourth presidential term. Of that partnership Eleanor wrote in This I Remember He might have been happier with a wife who had been completely uncritical
Nonetheless I think that I sometimes acted as a spur even though the spurring was not always wanted
She could as easily be speaking of her relationship with the world which she loved as earnestly as she goaded undaunted by its challenges and disappointments. <br/><br/> Harper & Brothers hardcover

ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
Eleanor Roosevelt Defends Universal Military Training – and 18 year-old Voting Rights
<p>"<i>I suppose you can say that anything which is obligatory is in some degree similar to communism or fascism. The only difference here is that we the people are consulted and it is our representatives through whom we speak… I think you are a trifle emotional when you call 18 year old men children. I think they should be allowed to vote…. Of course there are inequalities and injustices in any big undertaking.</i>"</p><p>"<i>I am sorry if you feel that you can not trust your government…. You can not expect always to have one man who will carry the burdens of the whole democracy and express their thinking for them. Now we have to do it for ourselves.</i>"</p><p>"<i>We are not alone in Korea many nations are represented … but we have to bear the brunt … because we were spared during the last war from war in our own country and therefore today we are the strongest nation in the world.</i>"</p><p>"<i>A mothers' rebellion would certainly be a novel and interesting undertaking because there would be a division even among the mothers. I do not know nor could I tell you exactly how you could find out how many men in Congress have eighteen year old sons but I am sure there are a great many who have.</i>"</p><p>A rich and fascinating letter by one of the twentieth century's most powerful first ladies.</p> <b>ELEANOR ROOSEVELT.</b>Typed Letter Signed to Flora E. Shirah February 27 1951. 2 pp. 7¼ x 10¼ in.<p><b>Complete Transcript</b></p><p><i>Val-Kill Cottage / Hyde Park Dutchess County / New York</i></p><p><i> February 27 1951</i></p><p><i>Dear Mrs. Shirah:</i></p><p><i>The Universal Military Training Bill which is now being considered will mean that eighteen year olds will enter Universal Military Training because most boys will be finishing their high school and there will be less upset if they do their military service then whether they are going to work or whether they are going to college.</i></p><p><i>If they are college material they will probably be sent for college training since great care will be taken not to deplete our essential leadership either for skilled people in medicine engineering etc.</i></p><p><i>I do not attribute the motives that you do to our representatives. We have delayed in accepting Universal Military Training until we accepted the fact that we were going to have for a number of years a situation in which we would have to be constantly prepared unless the USSR was to feel free to attack us. Since that is the case we must now have Universal Military Training.</i></p><p><i>I suppose you can say that anything which is obligatory is in some degree similar to communism or fascism. The only difference here is that we the people are consulted and it is our representatives through whom we speak when we accept a measure of this kind because we decide that it is necessary.</i></p><p><i>I think you are a trifle emotional when you call 18 year old men children. I think they should be allowed to vote. I think you are wrong in saying that in the last war men received one to two years of training. Some men may have stayed in training camps that long for various reasons but not because it was essential to give them that amount of training.</i></p><p><i>Of course there are inequalities and injustices in any big undertaking.</i><2></p><p><i>I am sorry if you feel that you can not trust your government. I feel that we have some very fine men as our representatives and I feel that they react to what citizens want. You can not expect always to have one man who will carry the burdens of the whole democracy and express their thinking for them. Now we have to do it for ourselves.</i></p><p><i>We are not alone in Korea many nations are represented on that frontier and their support is valuable but we have to bear the brunt as we will have to bear the brunt in many other undertakings because we were spared during the last war from war in our own country and therefore today we are the strongest nation in the world.</i></p><p><i>A mothers' rebellion would certainly be a novel and interesting undertaking because there would be a division even among the mothers. I do not know nor could I tell you exactly how you could find out how many men in Congress have eighteen year old sons but I am sure there are a great many who have. I am getting into the group where my grandsons are getting ready for service.</i></p><p><i>Incidentally any boy who is in school will be permitted to finish the school year.</i></p><p><i>There is no biography and probably can not be for many years of my husband. There is so much material that the historians will have to work over it for a long while.</i>"</p><p><i>I understand your emotional reaction but I hope you will think this question over carefully and realize that you have in the man power office a very careful adviser Mrs. Anna Rosenberg who will look after the interests of our young people. Her only son served in Europe during the last war.</i></p><p><i> Very sincerely yours</i></p><p><i> Eleanor Roosevelt</i></p><p><b>Historical Background</b></p><p>In his final State of the Union Address in January 1945 President Franklin D. Roosevelt briefly mentioned his intention to support the creation of a universal military training program after World War II ended. In October 1945 President Harry Truman recommended a specific Universal Military Training UMT plan to a joint session of Congress which held hearings but largely chose to ignore the President's request because of funding concerns. Opponents insisted that the atomic age had rendered large armies obsolete.</p><p>Truman asked for UMT in successive years but largely ignored his request. However the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950 brought the issue to the fore again. Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson forwarded his agency's program to Congress with the note that "recent events in Korea have only served to emphasize the fact that universal training is an essential element of an integrated and balanced system of national security." The President continued to support UMT but other issues directly related to the war were more pressing.</p><p>The issue resurfaced when the Senate Armed Services Committee held more extensive hearings on the proposed Universal Military Training and Service Act of 1951. George C. Marshall who had come out of retirement to succeed Johnson as Secretary of Defense testified that "in every national emergency…our military efforts have been hampered our very national existence has been imperiled by the lack of trained reserves."</p><p>On February 10 1951 Mrs. Flora E. Shirah wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt regarding the state of the nation. Although Shirah had no children subject to UMT she found the bill "little short of criminal." "I say it smacks of Communism to draft 'children'" she continues. "Congress will make a serious mistake if they pass such a bill and our country has already made too many." She assures Roosevelt that "I am not just ranting about this subject." She had two sons from her first marriage the older of whom "expects to be called back anytime now in the Air Force." The younger Charles Gerald Royce 1932-2000 turned 19 on January 14 1951 and had enlisted in the Air Force after graduation. Shirah goes on "they are my only children but I still insist if my son were still in high school and only eighteen and a law was passed to draft him I should heartily dispise the men who would pass that sort of legislation." She tells Eleanor that if FDR were still alive "there would not be the unrest distrust and lack of faith in our Government." She and her neighbors do not believe there is "a firm sure hand at the wheel of our Government" and "We believe that some day the mothers of this country will rebel and form their own union in defense of what they consider the right and fair thing to do." She closes by telling Eleanor that she is reading the book her son Elliott Roosevelt wrote and asks Eleanor to suggest a good biography of her husband "for whom I always had a great admiration."</p><p>Shirah also wrote to Senators Robert A. Taft of Ohio and Brien McMahon of Connecticut and President Harry Truman. She had received a response only from Senator McMahon.</p><p>Roosevelt's patient response to Shirah offered here is a strong defense of Universal Military Training to meet the threat of the U.S.S.R. While sympathetic to a mother's concerns Roosevelt makes clear her support for UMT. Acknowledging that large programs often have "<i>inequalities and injustices</i>" she also defends Congress and American involvement in Korea while offering a primer in citizen responsibility.</p><p>At the end of her letter Roosevelt assures Shirah that America's youth had a strong advocate in Anna Rosenberg 1902-1983 who served as Assistant Secretary of Defense in charge of manpower from November 1950 to January 1953.</p><p>When Dwight D. Eisenhower superseded Harry Truman as president UMT lost its most vocal supporter. Congress retained the option of selective service which led to the very unpopular Vietnam War draft.</p><p><b>Eleanor Roosevelt</b> 1884-1962 was born in New York City was tutored privately and attended an English finishing school. In 1905 she married her distant cousin Franklin D. Roosevelt. They had six children one of whom died in infancy. She actively supported her husband's political ambitions campaigning for him and representing him when he was Governor of New York 1929-1932 and President 1933-1945. After FDR's death Harry S. Truman appointed Eleanor Roosevelt as the first U.S. Representative to the United Nations where she served from 1947 to 1953. She also served as the first chair of the UN Commission on Human Rights. In 1961 John F. Kennedy appointed her as the first chair of the Presidential Commission on the Status of Women.</p><p><b>Flora E. Wyse Royce Shirah</b> 1906-1992 married Wingate Royce 1898-1961 a stone setter in 1928. By 1930 they lived with his mother in Middletown Connecticut. In 1940 she and her two sons lived with her mother in a suburb of Hartford. She divorced Royce and married Zelmar Shirah 1905-1971 an Alabama-born stone setter. They divorced in 1954. From the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s she worked as a bookkeeper for Pratt & Whitney manufacturers of aircraft engines.</p> books

ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
Eleanor Roosevelt on the Meaning of Civil Rights
<p><i>"Something has to happen to people's souls before they are going to give the rights of citizenship to all the people of our country regardless of color or creed. That does not mean you have to ask them to dinner. It only means giving them the rights that go with citizenship." </i></p> <b>ELEANOR ROOSEVELT.</b>Typed Letter Signed to "Harry" Washington D.C. February 19 1944. 2 pp. 6¼ x 9¼ in. On White House stationery.<p><b>Complete Transcript</b></p><p><i> February 19 1944</i></p><p><i>Dear Harry</i></p><p><i>I have never been as you know opposed to a year of universal service for all young people boys and girls nor do I object to a certain amount of military training in that year. I do not want it to be only military training because I consider that wasteful. </i></p><p><i>I quite agree with you that a year of this type of contact would be good for your young people but it would not solve the colored question because you would find them setting up separate projects just as they are doing in the Army today for colored and white. </i></p><p><i>Something has to happen to people's souls before they are going to give the rights of citizenship to all the people of our country regardless of color or creed. That does not mean you have to ask them to dinner. It only means giving them the rights that go with citizenship. </i></p><p><i>The right to an equal opportunity for an education. </i></p><p><i>The right to equal justice before the law. </i></p><p><i>The right to obtain a job according to their ability to hold it.</i></p><p><i>The right to participate in the government through the ballot.</i></p><p><i>To change the subject—I have a plea from Margot Haas to help them think up ways of collecting money. I think Mrs. David Levy will help them and Mr. Baruch told Trude yesterday that he was waiting for you to see him again so I am sure he will give something if you will go to see him again. I would try to get $5000. Evidently they have not been able to pay salaries and I imagine none of them have so much laid aside that this can go on long.</i></p><p><i> Affectionately</i></p><p> signed <i>Eleanor Roosevelt </i></p><p>handwritten: <i>Mrs. Levy practically agreed she would give them a monthly subscription as I do.</i></p><p><b>Historical Background </b></p><p>Eleanor Roosevelt was a staunch advocate for equal rights whether women's rights international human rights or civil rights for African Americans. She began her social activism in the early twentieth century by working at the College Settlement in Manhattan's Lower East Side. There Roosevelt taught physical education to the children of immigrants. It exposed her and her future husband to the plight of impoverished industrial workers and helped open FDR to the possibilities of helping alleviate poverty and social problems.</p><p>After FDR became President Eleanor toured the nation witnessing the effects of the Great Depression on rural areas especially in African American communities. She then pressured the Subsistence Homestead Administration to allow African Americans into Arthurdale a planned community designed to create economic self-sufficiency. Her efforts failed but it highlighted the depths of institutional racism in the United States. Roosevelt lobbied for civil rights inside her husband's administration and to the general public via radio and print media. She fought against lynching and segregation even resigning her membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution when they barred black opera singer Marian Andersen from performing in Constitution Hall. Instead Roosevelt arranged for Andersen to sing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and urged media outlets to promote the concert on television and radio.</p><p>Here she is addressing the lynchpin of civil rights: equal protection of the laws and equal opportunity in education and the marketplace. These things she believes are the responsibility of government while changing peoples' minds would take a more significant effort. Her tone suggests some familiarity with <i>"Harry"</i> as she addresses him by first name and signs <i>"Affectionately"</i> instead of her usual more formal letters to "Mr." or "Miss" and more serious closings such as "Very Sincerely Yours."</p><p>Despite her efforts segregation was the norm in many early New Deal programs as well as the armed services during the war. Here Roosevelt feared the same thing occurring in a proposed postwar national service initiative. "As World War II was coming to an end the House.established the Select Committee on Post-War Military Policy" according the National Archives and Records Administration."The select committee was directed to study postwar military requirements." In typical fashion Roosevelt recommended that the universal service include more than just military training.</p><p><b>Adele Rosenwald Levy </b>1892-1960 was the daughter of wealthy Chicago businessman and philanthropist Julius Rosenwald. She married David Levy her second husband in 1927. When the couple moved to New York City she began her own philanthropic work. Over the course of her life she served for many charitable and artistic foundations: the Citizens Committee on Children of New York City Play Schools Association Stadium Concerts Inc. and she sat on the board of trustees of Brandeis University and on the executive committees of the Museum of Modern Art New York State Youth Commission New York City Youth Board and the Wiltwyck School for Boys where she also served as first vice president. Levy collected many awards for her service. During World War II Levy became the first chair of the National Women's Division of the United Jewish Appeal and served as vice chair of the Committee of Displaced Persons. In the immediate aftermath of the war Levy was an instrumental fundraiser in helping settle Holocaust survivors.</p><p><b>Margot Haas</b> was a civil rights activist who was apparently in search of funding. In 1951 Haas published a book entitled <i>How to Conduct a Community Self-Survey of Civil Rights</i> which was the culmination of an American Jewish Congress project that began in 1944. Considering the other names mentioned including financier and statesman Bernard Baruch and Levy it is likely that the "subscription" mentioned went towards supporting UJA or another similar Jewish philanthropic organization.</p> books
