John H. Glenn Orbits The Earth For America, February 20, 1962

Signed by John Glenn

Rare promotional booklet celebrating John Glenn's historic Friendship 7 mission, which made him the first American to orbit the Earth. Signed and inscribed by Glenn to the rear cover - "to the Woodrow Family - John Glenn". Most autographed Glenn publications are from after his 1974 US Senate election, making this piece a rarity and presumably signed just after the mission.

Washington, D.C.: US Government Printing Office, 1962. Pictorial pamphlet in original wraps, pp. 8 + covers. About near fine, toning to rear cover.
