Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. SERGEANT YORK HIS OWN LIFE STORY AND WAR DIARY 1928 1ST SIGNED. I am very happy to be able to offer a book you won t forget. Please find: Sergeant York-His Own Life Story and War Diary by Alvin C. York and edited by Tom Skeyhill. This small hard cover book (5 ¾ x 8 ½ inches, 309 pages) was published by Doubleday Doran and Company of Garden City, New York dated 1928 and the First Edition (so stated). The book is flat-signed by Sergeant York on the front endpaper. It is bound in orange boards with green titles and decorations on cover and spine. There is a Frontispiece and ten other vintage b&w photos. There is an opening Foreword by the then Secretary of War Baker and a Preface by his co-Author and Editor Skeyhill. Better set aside a few days or so because if you buy this one and start to read it, you won t easily put it down. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The hard covers are dust-dulled and lightly soiled and show some bumping to the corners and spine tips. Inside a former owner has left his inked name on the front endpaper where Sergeant York has also signed his name. These are the only marks I found in the book. The interior pages are clean and bright and without toning or foxing. Both hinges are intact, but the binding is cracked at the title page and feels slightly loose (although it could easily be re-glued). This book is not ex-library or a remainder. Signed by Author.

An unrecorded broadsheet advertising a lecture by Skeyhill in the United States. It reprints a May 5, 1918 article from the Washington Times and the venue for the lecture is ink-stamped at the top "Y.M.C.A. Monday Night 9PM, Admission 30 & 50". Tom Skeyhill was an Australia soldier who claimed to have lost his sight in battle at Gallipoli in 1915, after which his war-hero status advanced his career, publishing the "Soldier-Songs from Anzac" in 1916, and lecturing widely as the "Soldier Poet of the Anzacs". In 1918, while on tour in the United States, he reported experiencing a miraculous cure after being treated by an osteopath. The account of his cure is described in his brochure, heaping praise on the doctor who restored his sight and his fervent desire to go back to the Front and resume fighting. Of course, the war was to end on November 11, 1918 and Skeyhill did not return to the Front. His story was recounted in the Literary Digest for December 28, 1918, (pp 56 & 57) along with a further articles in "The Osteopathic Physician", May 1918, no. 5, pp 6-7 & 10-11. Historian Jeff Brownrigg, in his book "Anzac Cover to Hollywood: The Story of Tom Skeyhill, Master of Deception: (2010, argues convincingly that Skeyhill actually wanted no part of the fighting and faked his blindness in order to escape the trenches.
