Signed book: We. First edition. NY: G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 1927. Hardcover with dustjacket, 5.75 x 8.25, 318 pages. Signed on the second free end page, “Charles A. Lindbergh, Des Moines, Sept. 11, 1941.” Printed on the copyright page is “This is a copy of the First Edition of ‘We.’” Some light toning and soiling to signed page, uniform toning with some scattered light foxing and spots of heavier toning to inside pages, some light dings to head and tail of spine, otherwise fine condition. Dustjacket exhibits scattered toning and soiling, as well as scattered edge wear, creases, and small areas of paper loss.
The same day he signed this book, Lindbergh spoke in Des Moines on behalf of the isolationist America First Committee. The famous aviator criticized the groups he perceived were leading America into war for acting against the country's interests, and expressed doubt that the United States could defeat Germany, a nation with ‘armies stronger than our own.’ Not surprisingly, those comments were met with outrage in many quarters. Lindbergh was denounced as an anti-Semite, and his name was removed from the water tower in his hometown of Little Falls, Minnesota. After Japan’s attack on the Pearl Harbor less than three months later and America’s entry into the war, Lindbergh sought reinstatement as a member of the armed forces—only to have his request refused by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. An important date in Lindbergh’s life—the one on which he arguably ceased being an American icon in the eyes of many.
