The Horowitz-Wellmuth Affair

They say Wellmuth died on December 29th 1943,

but look at the dedication here:

my grandfather played Wherley on July, 1945.

The  "Golden Treasury of Chess", was signed and given to my grandfather after playing this game in 1945 as seen in the dedication, which reads:

First Brilliancy Prize

awarded to Averill Powers for his game against Dr. O.M. Wherley

by the Sturgeon Bay Chess Club.

Northeastern Open July 1945

Compare the handwritings, it's proof that it's not the same person, but then who sent it?

Interesting, he always thought that Wellmuth sent it, but allegedly Wellmuth had died... puzzling...

The question I suppose, 2 of them now:

1) Who sent the book

2) Why was Wellmuth's name removed after the first publication?

(1) My 'correction' regarding The Golden Treasury of Chess provoked at least 10 readers to respond with their own corrections to my correction! In fact, Chris Holmes, who sent me the original note, did mention that he thought that someone named Wellmuth had actually done the work on this book, but this was a bit vague and I just let the Horowitz correction stand. From the many emails I've gotten, I now believe that the true state of affairs is this: Francis J Wellmuth was the author of The Golden Treasury of Chess and was listed as such on the original edition of the book. Apparently Fred Reinfeld also did a great deal of the editorial work. Horowitz evidently then 'revised' (some say 'gutted') the book, and published it under his own name. Regardless of the various versions my readers supplied with respect to Horowitz' co-opting of the book, all agreed in their disapproval of Horowitz, most of them feeling that his claim of authorship was both unethical and self-aggrandizing. Thanks to all who sent me material on this matter. I am, clearly, neither a chess historian nor a true chess bibliophile!

Bump from page 3.

The mystery of who gave the book to grandpa, who wrote or authorized the writing of the dedication,
I don't think we'll ever figure it out.
