New York: The New York Times Co., 1925. Book. Very Good. Soft cover. First Edition. 8vo. Light wear but with a previous owner's name on the cover; no interior markings. Illustrated with photographs and maps. There is a quote from George Santayana, the American philosopher, that has a couple of variations: Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it; and - those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
