About This Item
Cape Cod, MA: the author, 1939. A quite elaborately laid out, four-panel brochure, just over 9 inches wide and a full four feet tall when completely unfolded, then opening to reveal the text of the Magna Carta and additional material. Some minor stains, generally very good. Not found in OCLC, though there are so many conceivable ways to catalog this document that it has possibly been missed. Includes a series of historical flags, followed by the new flags Davis has designed for the proposed unified nation of the UK and the USA. A diagram and several illustrations depict the World Peace Monument and its setting. Davis, a businessman and promoter of a national highway system, was always partial to grand schemes and elaborate plans. His list of titles and organizations is formidable. Davis' titles provided include "Honorary Grand Sachem of the Six Nations, 'Gowana Har-Lasa-lones La-ta-le-yos Iroquois Davy' meaning 'Great Peacemaker and Warrior-Iroquois Davy.' Mohawk Chief 'La-wa-ya-no-wa-na' meaning 'He does enormous things.'" A black and white photo depicts him being instructed in his honorary role by tribal leaders. Jay Oliver, in his column, "The Solarium," for the August 4, 1939 issue of the Arlington, VA "Sun," describes his incredulous reaction to receiving in the mail this or a very similar convoluted document from Charles Henry Davis.
