Good Words. December 25, 1925
Atlanta, GA: Good Words, Publisher, 1925. Wraps. Very Good. Item #022119
Wraps. Approximately 9 ¾ by 7 1/8 inches. 28 pp. A little magazine published at the United States Penitentiary in Atlanta, Georgia. It began publishing in 1913, soon after the prison opened. Julian Hawthorne wrote for the magazine when he was incarcerated there. The magazine for the most part had a "preachy, moralistic," tone, and often ignored news from within the prison (such as the release of Eugene Debs) (see Jailhouse Journalism: the Fourth Estate Behind Bars, p. 88). The journal was published until 1938, when it was replaced with The Atlantian. This issue does discuss some intramural sports, interspersed with moralizing, etc. With news on prison happenings, pieces on Jewish tidings and Christian Science, etc. VERY GOOD condition. Minor toning and a hint of soiling.
Price: $200.00
