Condition: Very Good

Description: This is a rare second printing of the first U.S. edition by Boni & Liveright (1925), published in 1927, after Hemingway's break with this publisher (1926) and his switch to Scribner's Sons (see below) HARDCOVER. Lacking the rare dustjacket. Bound in black cloth with bright gilt design & lettering front board, gilt lettering spine. NEAR FINE (gilt lettering on spine dulled but quite legible, internally clean). An especially nice clean tight solid copy. With the publication of "In Our Time", Hemingway's reputation as a rising young writer grew and he obtained a contract with the American publisher Horace Liveright, who published an expanded "In Our Time" in 1925. Following a dispute with Liveright concerning Ernest Hemingway's attack on his former mentor Sherwood Anderson,and Boni and Liveright's refusal to publish Hemingway's parody of Anderson's fiction, Hemingway publicly distanced himself from the publishing house and began a lifelong relationship with the publisher Charles Scribner's Sons. Nevertheless, Boni & Liveright published this small second printing of the first edition of "In Our Time" in 1927, a year after the dispute."

There is excellent provenance associated with this copy which was inscribed and presented to Major General Milton Foreman who was a hero in the Spanish-American War, the Mexican Border Service Campaign and World War I. It is pprobable that Hemingway met him during the First World War. 'In the Spanish-American War, he enlisted in the Army as a private in Troop C, First Calvary, on December 5, 1895. He worked his way up the ranks until he was a captain. In the Mexican Border Service, he was a colonel commanding the First Calvary Division of the Illinois National Guard Colonel Milton J. Foreman, of the Illinois National Guard, received the Distinguished Service Cross for bravery in World War I while serving in France. When his unit came under heavy artillery and machine gun fire, he crept through the German gunfire, laying out telephone wire so that he could tell his artillery where the enemy had its gun positions. Foreman found the enemy gun positions and directed his artillery to lay down a barrage of shells to destroy them. General Foreman was awarded for bravery the Distinguished Service Cross, the Distinguished Service Medal, Silver Star Citations, French Legion of Honor and the Belgian Order of the Crown. During World War II, Foreman was honored when a merchant liberty ship was named the S.S. Foreman. When World War I ended, he was discharged and appointed a colonel in the Illinois National Guard. He was promoted to brigadier general on June 23, 1920 and major general on March 19, 1921. Upon Foreman’s retirement, in 1931, he was promoted to Lieutenant General. General Foreman was one of the organizers of the American Legion and he was elected chairman of its executive committee at the Paris Caucus, at which he represented Illinois. During the Legion's third national convention in 1921, he was designated as a past national commander by resolution. Foreman was born on January 26, 1863, in Chicago, Illinois. He was educated here and eventually became an attorney, being admitted to the bar in 1899. He served as a member of the Chicago City Council from 1899 to 1911. He was very active in politics and civic affairs. Foreman had the confidence of presidents, cabinet members, senators, governors and mayors. He was a bachelor and a collector of rare books. He died on October 18, 1935' see Seymour "Sy" Brody
