Historian and journalist (1882–1944) best known for his 1921 book The Story of Mankind. Draft manuscript for an unidentified NBC program, 8.5 x 11, seven pages, dated 1926, heavily revised throughout in van Loon’s own hand, beginning: “Poor old Robespierre has been sadly sidetracked. I was just about tomdissect [sic] the poor man’s incredible ego…for he had neither brain nor heart nor any other organs, as far as anyone has ever been able to discover.” Stapled to the top is an ALS, one page, 8 x 10.5, personal letterhead, August 6, 1927, transmitting the draft and commenting on his near-indecipherable handwriting. In overall fine condition.
