Description:xxiv + front., 156p. plates; wraps evenly toned and a tad edgeworn, pages a bit toned, spine slightly creased. Signed and inscribed by the editor to Dorothy Myers. Myers, an African American Cleveland barber, was Ohio's most important Black Republican for many years. His father, Isaac Myers, a leading member of Baltimore's free Black community, became a founder of the National Labor Union and an outspoken advocate of cooperative enterprise as well as racial equality. His son, however, eschewed a union career to become a businessman, pioneering porcelain fixtures, individual wash basins and telephones at every chair. Elbert Hubbard called his establishment "the best barber shop in America," and, indeed, Myers cut the hair of eight US Presidents, dozens of Congressmen, Mark Twain, Lloyd George, and other luminaries. In 1892, his vote enabled Mark Hanna to gain control of Ohio's Republican party. He shared Hanna's business conservatism but remained an outspoken advocate of racial equality. In these letters, Myers criticizes Rhodes for his treatment of Black Reconstruction during the course of their discussionsWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
