Inscribed on the front endpaper: “To Jim Childers, Here is a man, whose eyes even on his first day must have been wide open and alert. As he grew his mind was as open at both ends as a farm gate – taking in the facts and lessons of history, and its riches of literature. His thinking is as logical and just as his pen is powerful. He’s with us now, and we are glad. James M. Cox / Nov. 28, 1951.”
James M. Cox (1870-1957) was the governor of Ohio from 1913-1915 and again from 1917-1921. He ran for president in 1920, losing to Warren Harding. After leaving politics, he concentrated on building a media empire, known today as Cox Communications.
