Excerpt from Book of Chess Problems
John K. Hanshew was born in Frederick, Maryland, January oth, 1847.
At the Frederick County College young Hanshew was noted for his mathematical tal ent; but, while deeply engaged in Algebra and Geometry, the battles of South Mountain and Antietam caused so many wounded to be brought into Frederick City that the school buildings were all taken for hospital pur poses; thus suddenly ended his school days. Soon afterward Mr. Hanshew went to the of fice of the Frederick Examiner to learn the art of printing, where he faithfully served his apprenticeship, investing all his surplus earn ings in type, so that when he assumed the editorship of the Maryland Chess Review, now so favorably known all over the chess world, his printing office needed only the addition of chess and checker type to make it complete.
Mr. Hanshew is a musician, and has traveled with several Minstrel and Theatrical troupes in the capacity of pianist.
