THE HINCKLEY FIRE
Comet Press Books, 1954. Item #1357
McDERMOTT, Clara. [With Antone A. Anderson]. THE HINCKLEY FIRE. NY: Comet Press Books, [1954]. 8vo., 8vo., red cloth in dust jacket. First Edition. The true story of a boy who came back to life to survey one of America's most terrible tragedies, the Hinckley, Minnesota wild fire of Sept. 1, 1894, where 418 lives were lost. Signed by either McDermott or Anderson on the front endpaper: "April 11th, 1955. Anton A. Anderson, Chilsolm, Minn. and Clara Anderson, Portland, Oregon." The handwriting for both signatures is the same so I am not sure which author penned it- but I am guessing McDermott. An uncommon title and especially so signed. Very Good (contents clean & tight, few minor bumps front cover); little soil & rubbing (frew short tears) d/j. $150.00.
