Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First edition. Octavo. 142pp. A trifle worn, pages lightly toned, else fine in a lightly toned and worn, very good or better dust jacket with faint staining on the spine. Briefly Inscribed on the front fly: "To Roland and Betty / Sincerely, O.J." "This story is primarily the moving and descriptive story of the Negro in the South," written "out of the strong necessity of [the author's] own varied experience" (from the dust jacket). According to the biography on the rear panel of the dust jacket (which also provides a halftone portrait), Chapman was at the time professor of education at A. & I. State College in Nashville; he had previously held teaching positions in several Southern and Midwestern states, and authored works in history and psychology. Printed on the lower flap of the dust jacket is a short piece by the author, urging people to buy War Bonds. Uncommon.

Secretary of the Interior (1949-53) under Harry S. Truman. Full signature in blue ballpoint, heavy stock 5" X 3" card, n.p., 1971 November 29 (typed). Fine. Beneath his signature, Chapman has typed in a little mini-biography: "Assistant Secretary of the Interior May 4, 1933 / Succeeded to Under Secretary / Succeeded to Secretary of the Interior." With original envelope. Accompanied by a superb original black-and-white glossy 1953 news agency photograph (International News Photo), 9" X 7". Original mimeographed newsprint text sheet present and tipped to verso (as issued). Titled "Washington Conference," this vintage image shows Chapman seated at a desk with another gentleman, poring over an open notebook. Text reads, "With inauguration day moving ever closer, key men in the Eisenhower administration-to-be have been conferring with men in the Truman administration whose posts they will take over. Governor Douglas MacKay. the Secretary of Interior-designate, is shown in conference with Interior Secretary Oscar Chapman in Washington yesterday." A choice, desireable vintage photograph, itself scarce.
