Presented is a signed limited edition printing of Cokie Roberts’ Founding Mothers: The Women Who Raised a Nation. This book was published in Norwalk, Connecticut by Easton Press, in 2004. The book was issued in a limited edition print run of only 1500 signed copies, each with its own certificate of authenticity.

Roberts additionally signed the limitation page in blue felt-tipped ink. The book is numbered 1,045 of 1500 leather-bound first editions. Founding Mothers: The Women Who Raised a Nation is a non-fiction, historical study of the roles women played in establishing the United States as an independent nation. It is an illuminating look at the patriotic women whose tireless pursuits, on behalf of their families and their country, proved crucial to the forging of a new nation. Drawing on key primary sources, including published writings, journal entries, and personal letters, Roberts reveals the often-surprising stories of these fascinating Revolutionary-era women. Roberts brings to life the everyday trials and extraordinary triumphs of individuals like Abigail Adams, Mercy Otis Warren, Deborah Read Franklin, Eliza Pinckney, Catherine Littlefield Green, Esther DeBerdt Reed, and Martha Washington. “[Roberts] creates a strong ... case that without the patriotism of women on the home front, the Colonies would have lost the Revolutionary War ... Founding Mothers is a series of entertaining mini-biographies and engaging vignettes”(New York Times). Cokie Roberts (1943-2019) was a political commentator for ABC News, a senior news analyst for NPR, with prominent positions on Morning Edition, The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, World News Tonight, and This Week.

The All-American Boys, Signed by Walter Cunningham, First Updated Paperback 2004

Located in Colorado Springs, CO

Cunningham, Walter. The All-American Boys. New York: ibooks, Inc., 2004. First updated trade paperback edition. Octavo. Softcover. Signed by Walter Cunningham on the full title page. This is the first trade paperback edition of the updated version of The All-American Boys, Walter Cunningham's candid look at America's space program. First published in 1977, this updated trade paperback printing was published by ibooks, Inc. in New York in September of 2004. The book is signed on the full title page, “Walt Cunningham, Apollo 7” in black ink. The All-American Boys is a no-holds-barred candid memoir by the former Marine jet pilot and physicist, who became NASA's second civilian astronaut. From its insider's view of the pervasive "astropolitics" that guided the functioning of the astronaut corps, to its thoughtful discussion of the Shuttle Columbia tragedy, The All-American Boys resonates with Cunningham's passion for space travel and exploration. Cunningham brings readers into NASA's training program and reveals what it takes to be an astronaut. He poignantly relates the story of the devastating Apollo 1...
