Notable Book Peddlers From Washington To Twain
Early American book peddlers included presidents and famous figures. Washington sold about two hundred thousand copies in Virginia area. Grant promoted Irving's Life and Voyages of Columbus. Hayes ran sales in Ohio. Longfellow, Bret Harte, Gould, and Barnum also peddled before fame. Mark Twain operated as publisher and seller of Grant's Me. The era ended with shifts in publishing and the rise of major figures. Bad news for Allies dominated coverage with Allied setbacks and a disrupted balance in the Far East and Pacific. The Russian Japanese peace pact reduced democracies’ leverage and signaled increased Japanese pressure on colonies in Asia.
