In July, 1923, on board the U.S.S. Henderson during a trip to Alaska, Harding appears to be healthy, yet he died only a few days later. This plus a variety of other circumstances created suspicion that Harding had been murdered, especially since his wife, Florence, refused to agree to an autopsy. Then, Florence herself died only one year later. As to who would murder Harding and why, at the time of this photo Harding was tremendously popular, one of the most popular presidents ever had. Only a few years later, he came to be regarded as the worst president America ever had. The Teapot Dome Scandal was looming in the far distance, but troubles were starting to appear. Harding had at least two active mistresses, plus an illegitimate child. The General Public did not know about this but his wife probably did. Did all this add up to a recipe for murder, or did the robust, young and healthy President of the United States simply drop dead for no reason at all? Out of print. Rare and collectible. No stated publishing history so presumed first edition, first printing thus. This is a used book. Pages are clean and bright with no markings, notes, or highlighting. Page edges show light foxing. No DJ. No owner's marks or bookplates, not ex-library. Binding is beginning to separate in the front; boards show some edge wear. Corners are bumped. A good reading copy.…
