Soft cover. Condition: VG. Robert Capa, Larry Burrows, Francis Miller, George Leavens, John Bryson, Loomis Dean (illustrator). Entire issue, July 14, 1961, in original wraps with portrait of the subject, light general wear, occasional fine creasing noted at cover, still overall clean and bright, with mailing label. The elusive, highly collectible Hemingway memorial issue, with a preface by LIFE, a photographic essay, including explanatory text, with 10 pages of pictures spanning Hemingway's adult life, by Hemingway's friend Robert Capa, who would work with Hemingway multiple times for Life Magazine, and Larry Burrows, Francis Miller, George Leavens, John Bryson, and Loomis Dean, and the 2-page MacLeish essay, His Mirror Was Danger. From the editor's preface, "For us at Life, the death of Ernest Hemingway is a special loss, for he was a cherished colleague of ours. From the time in 1937 when he wrote captions for one of our picture stories on the Spanish War to last summer, when we published parts of his latest work (The Dangerous Summer), he was both a contributor to Life and a good friend." See Hanneman H1274. Surprisingly scarce.

Wraps. Condition: Good. Illustrated wraps. Pagination runs 33-64. A later issue of this magazine, (only five volumes were published, the last number being July of 1856), devoted to literature and history relating to the American West, including Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, etc. It changed editorship/ownership a few times, and according to The Magazine of Western History, Volume 8, at most 3000 copies of any issue were ever published. This issue contains a piece by J. Bryson Burrows describing Southern plantations, "planters" and African-Americans working and living on the plantations. Burrows is lavish in his descriptives for the manners and looks of the planters, but heavily embraces stereotypes in his description of the lives of African-Americans, despite his apparent distaste for the practice of slavery. GOOD condition. Magazine cropped close along the margins. Covers toned and soiled, with some staining. General wrinkling to the covers. Chipping and loss to the wrapper along the spine.
