Description
Calvin Coolidge Twice Signed Ledger. Notebook, 7" x 8" (with approximately 140 pages of which less than half are filled), Vermont, circa 1889-1891. A notebook containing the constitution, minutes of meetings and various attendance rolls of the Adelphia Union, a literary society at the Black River Academy where Coolidge completed his secondary education. Coolidge signs "J. Calvin Coolidge" in two places, an early variant of his signature. Also signed by his sister, Abigail Coolidge who died at the age of 15 in 1890.Coolidge was named after his father, John Calvin Coolidge. He always went by his middle name, and apparently signed "J. Calvin Coolidge" in his youth. As a young man, he would sign "Calvin Coolidge, Jr." and in his public life, "Calvin Coolidge" - with his distinctive "C"s.
Condition: Front joint is cracked and one of the front endpapers as well as another page (which has tears) are disbound. Light soiling throughout, the second Coolidge signature is in pencil. Heavy wear to cover.
