John F. Kennedy, 1959
KENNEDY, John F. (1917-1963). Profiles in Courage. New York: Harper & Brothers, [1959].
A good copy of Kennedy's inspiring stories of political courage, signed and inscribed by Kennedy to the namesake of the subject of the fifth chapter: "To Sam Houston Allred—a distinguished bearer of a great Texas name." Allred (1900-1984) briefly served in the Texas House of Representatives from 1930-1931 (winning his seat in a special election held in October). The copy was secured by his brother David Allred, a journalist in Wichita Falls who had had the opportunity to speak personally with Kennedy in February 1959. In the course of their conversation, Allred mentioned that his brother had been named in Sam Houston's honor, who was also the subject of the fifth chapter of Kennedy's book. Kennedy graciously inscribed this copy to David Allred's brother.(See https://www.gilderlehrman.org/collection/glc0253002)
