About This Item
Dubuque: Loras College Press, 1939. Hardcover. 8vo. Purple embossed cloth with gilt lettering. 255pp. Frontispiece, numerous illustrations. Near fine. Bit of age toning to both endpapers (only); touch of spotting to outer page edges. Tight and bright first edition of the scarcest title by this Dubuque institutional history by the Catholic priest, author and historian (1889-1961). While his titles "Antique Dubuque, 1673-1833" (1930), "Church Founders of the Northwest" (1937) and "Centennial History of the Archdiocese of Dubuque, 1837-1937" (1938) are often seen, this title is rarely encountered. A lovely copy.
