SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, March 23, 1937
- San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge dive
- Daredevil Ray Woods jumps off w/ photos
The top of the front page has a two column heading: "Daredevil Breaks Back in 186-Foot Leap Off Bridge" with subheads and large photo. (see) More on the following pages including a great full page pictorial. Probably only reported in a San Francisco area publication. Rare a s such.
Complete with all 34 pages, light toning at the margins, small library stamp within the masthead, small binding holes along the spine, generally nice.
