1923 President Harding Martinsburg Maryland Speech Stereo Card Trip He Died On
This is one of the many Harding stereo cards we have for sale in our eBay store. In 1923, President Warren G. Harding started to feel the heat in Washington, D.C., politically over the scandalous Teapot Dome corruption issues as well as by the mean temperature. So, he and his wife and various cabinet members planned an extensive trip to take his and the press's minds off these problems. A set of stereo view cards was the result which have become quite desirable among collectors since it shows so many interesting snapshots of people, cultures, the different geographical places and diverse things he experienced. The party headed out west across the Great Plains then clear up into Alaska where he was the first President to visit, and back down through Washington and Oregon, with the trip being cut short there, because of his deteriorating condition. They cancelled several events and went straight on to San Francisco where Harding died on August 2 at a hotel, shocking the nation. This Keystone View Company card shows the president making one of his first speeches on the trip at Martinsburg, Maryland. Not far from Washington, D.C. this was at the very beginning of that extensive excursion. It is in nice condition but please look our images to judge this for yourself so you can be happy with your purchase. We are members of APIC and sell only authentic presidential (and other collectible) material so buy with confidence. We'll be happy to combine S & H costs on multiple purchases.
