About This Item
Abilene, KS: Reflector Publishing Company, 1903. 168 pages. Ex-Library, now in library type of binding. Usual library markings inside, though no library markings on the covers. Frontispiece shows chipping and tears, there is a quarter sized open tear affecting the edge of the authors portrait though not his image. Last two pages of text also show chipping, with some paper loss at the lower corner of the last text page affecting the last two letters in "old." Volume remains solid and contents are otherwise clean and in good condition. James B. Shane was born in Kentucky in 1840 and served with distinction in the Civil War, after which he was promoted to Captain. Following the War, he moved along with his family to Abilene, Kansas and later to Lawrence, Kansas in 1878. There, he operated various photography studios on Massachusetts St. until 1902 when he was convicted of murder. Although the book seems intended as an appeal of his conviction, the content is largely autobiographical with some fascinating content regarding his time in Company D, 16th Kentucky Infantry, as well as operating photography studios in downtown Lawrence, Kansas near the end of the 19th century. His daughter Juno Belle continued operating the last studio started by her father, until her death in 1953. Rare title with WorldCat showing only two copies (KU and UMKC), and no auction records found.. First Edition. Cloth - Hard Cover. Good-/No Jacket.

About Lloyd Zimmer, Books and Maps
With more than 25 years of experience buying and selling out-of-print, collectible, and rare books, maps, and ephemera, I am now doing business from my home at 60 Poplar Heights Rd.; Chanute, KS 66720; U.S.A. by appointment only. I offer a selection of more than 5000 books of all genre, as well as more than 1000 maps ranging from 15th century to early 20th. All inventory is hand selected and believed to be of significance for the collector, the reader, the historian or the general book lover. Historically, I have specialized in Kansas and regional history, but also maintain quality collections of Natural History, Theology, Americana, Railroad, Travel and Exploration, Medicine, Art, and Psychology, Neurology, and Psychiatry. Fine bindings, plate books, signed and inscribed items are an important part of my collections. Smaller, though intriguing collections of other genre are also a part of my holdings. Appraisal, consultation, and collection development services are available. Please come and browse, talk books, and have a cup of coffee in a relaxed and book friendly environment. But for the convenience of both of us, please email or call first. Trade terms available and dealers are welcome.
