About this Item
Drawings by Romaine Proctor. Small 8vo. Pictorial paper over boards. xiv, 166pp, v. Line drawings, 2 maps. Very good. Minor binding edgewear, else tight and internally fine. Tight and attractive copy of this reprint edition of the 1934 profile of the pioneer community and its residents. This copy belonged to Phyllis C. Brinkley (1926-2018), Wisconsin writer and author of several Lincoln books. She boldly pens "Property of / Phyllis C. Brinkley" in blue ballpoint on front flyleaf and the text contains the occasional underlining and margin observations in her hand. Below the Americana House imprint on title page a signature of that publisher's founder, Ralph G. Newman (1911-98) of Abraham Lincoln Book Shop fame, is affixed. Just for fun, this interesting copy is accompanied by a fine copy of Brinkley's 1973 address before the Lincoln Fellowship of Wisconsin, "Abraham Lincoln and His Wife, Mary: A Study of Two Human Beings," which references this standard work among others.
