About this Item

A bit cocked, spine faded and a bit soiled but still a tight copy in green cloth with white lettering on the front cover, generically inscribed and dated signed by the author in Springfield, Mass. Quite unusual signed. "Lowrie's best known literary work, My Life in Prison, was published in 1912. Stories in the book were not self-glorifying but rather plain and descriptive accounts of life in prison. Lowrie's simple writing style helped in obtaining confidence and understanding among his audience. The portrayal of the desolate and humiliating conditions prisoners had to face at the time was a central theme.[4] In 1912, Lowrie also joined the lecture circuit, traveling from community to community and talking about his life in prison.[6] My Life Out of Prison was Lowrie's sequel, published in 1915, describing his struggle to readjust after being released from prison.[5]".
