Description
Offered here is a rare first edition of Remembered Yesterdays by Robert Underwood Johnson, published in 1923 by Little, Brown & Company. This 624-page memoir is bound in its original olive-green cloth with gilt lettering on the spine and cover.

Johnson was a central figure in American literary and diplomatic life. As editor of The Century Magazine, he influenced public opinion and literary culture for decades. His advocacy helped lead to the creation of Yosemite National Park, and he later served as U.S. Ambassador to Italy.
This richly detailed memoir provides firsthand accounts of his interactions with Ulysses S. Grant, Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, John Muir, and other influential figures of the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is both a personal reflection and a historical record of major cultural and political movements.
