Homer T. Bone - U.S. Senator- / From the author at the request of John L. Lang - / Glat to meet you again - SIGNED Charles Erskine Scott Wood.' A New third 'Greatly augmented and revised edition of a book whose first edition 'was reviewed by Max Eastman in the Masses and by Emma Goldman in Mother Earth. The one said there was too much propaganda and too little poetry--the other that there was too much poetry and too little propaganda.' vi 145pp. 12mo Taupe paper over boards backed in black cloth spine stamped in gilt and front cover in brown lettering rough trimmed fore edge.

Wood first came to literary notoriety for his poetic rendering of the surrender speech of Nez Perce Chief Joseph recordered in person while serving in the Oregon Indian Wars for the US Army. Writes Dee Brown 'Lieutenant Wood left the Army not long afterward to become a lawyer and an author of satirical poems and essays. His experiences with Chief Joseph and the Nez Perces influenced his later life; he became an ardent fighter for social justice and a defender of the dispossesed' Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. According to his publisher: 'Charles Erskine Scott Wood followed the tradition of his family and took up military life as a boy graduating from West Point Academy some fifty years ago. Still very young he served in the Indian campaigns of the Northwest fraternizing with the Indians learning of their wisdom and being accepted among them. Later Mr. Wood settled in Portland Oregon and there practised law becoming the most distinguished and picturesque attorney in the Northwest. He had two offices: one in which he met corporation clients; and another a secret chamber to which came poets and peasants artists hoboes dreamers cultists borrowers cranks fanatics and gentle souls sinners and saints and scientists. Some ten years ago he gave up law and turned wholly to poetry moving to California to live in the sunlight. A friend has described him as 'wise and mellow with many years-one who walks the vine-draped hills of Los Gatos with the gods looking down on tiny villages and checkered orchards and chuckling not unkindly as he listens to the discourses of puffing little men.' His profound knowledge of human nature is born of wandering up and down the face of the earth and watching the activities of his fellow men for over half a century and this poem the fruit of that wisdom has been called 'one of the finest bits of American poetry grounded in a radical social philosophy.'' From the Dust Jacket. Homer T. Bone was a Tacoma lawyer whose first political affiliation was with the Socialist Party before spending the 1920's in Washington state politics with the Farmer-Labor Party and finally successfully running for the US Senate as a Democrat in 1932 a set which he held until accepting a Judicial appointment by FDR to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
