About This Item
Chicago: Chapman Publishing Company (1st Edition, 1899). Tooled leather hardcover with gilt title and decoration, gilt top and fore edges, 845 pages. Book is housed in an archival museum box. Sewn binding of text block extremely weak. Backstrip of spine missing. Boards have separated from the binding. The leather covers are heavily worn, with sections along the spine, edges, and corners worn through to the cardboard. FFEP laid in; heavily chipped and torn along the edges; previous owner's small address sticker affixed. There are numerous pages with chipping and small closed tears along the edges and old tape repairs.
ABOUT THE BOOK: Excerpt: Coming generations will appreciate this volume and preserve it as a sacred treasure, from the fact that it contains so much that would never find its way into public records, and which would otherwise be inaccessible. Great care has been taken in the compilation of the work, and'every opportunity possible given to those represented to insure correctness in what has been written, and the publishers flatter themselves that they give to their readers a work with few errors of consequence. In addition to the biographical sketches, portraits of a number of representative citizens are given.
