[JOHNSON, Lyndon Baines]. TRACY, Honor. The Straight and Narrow Path. Fourth Printing. New York: Random House, 1956.
8vo, original publisher's two tone cloth, dustjacket. In very fine condition. In a custom-made buckram clamshell case.
A VOLUME LINKING LBJ AND FDR: WARMLY INSCRIBED BY LBJ TO TOMMY CORCORAN: "To Tommy Corcoran, who has made me understand why someday the Irish will inherit the earth from his gratefull friend Lyndon B. Johnson....May 29. 1957." A VERY LENGTHY JOHNSON INSCRIPTION.
The jacket describes the book as a comic novel set in a small Irish village, with a parish priest as the main character. The recipient of the gift from LBJ was Thomas G. Corcoran ("Tommy the Cork") (1900-1981), a protege of Felix Frankfurter, law clerk to Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes and a member of the legal staff of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. More significant was his position as trusted unofficial advisor to FDR, for whom he helped draft speeches, write key legislation and lobby members of Congress. When Johnson first came to Washington in 1937, he forged a strong personal connection to Corcoran and Roosevelt, one which endured after Corcoran's return to private law practice, as documented in this association volume.
