Description: A warm association copy of Casper Yost's 1924 work on journalism. Longtime editor of the St. Louis Globe Democrat newspaper, Yost rose to prominence as the discoverer and editorial engine of the writings of Patience Worth, the purported spirit of a 17th Century English immigrant to the American Colonies who channeled her writings one-letter-at-a-time through the Ouija board of a St. Louis woman named Pearl Curran. This copy inscribed by Yost to Elizabeth "Bessie" Morse, founder of St. Louis' Morse School of Expression and recorded attendee of Curran's early Patience Worth channeling sessions. YOST, Casper S.
