Cloth. Zustand: Very Good -. No Jacket. Edition not Stated. This SCARCE 228 pp. book contains 4 "bust" photographs on each and every page from front to rear, of Kentucky's men of note. Each has their name, company and city beneath the picture, and are arranged by job categories. There is a Portrait index, followed by a topic index, both at the front of the book. The book does show moderate edgewear and corner bumping, but is nonetheless a handsome book, with dark blue cloth binding embellished with gilt lettering and design and gilt page edges. Photos upon request.

Hardbound. Zustand: See description. Full embossed leather (spine gone). All edges are gilt. 560 pp., few illustrations. This copy, though in dire need of rebinding (spine gone, covers off, text block intact and solid) is unique in that it bears a dedication bookplate stating as follows: {to} The Confederate Soldiers' Home, Pikesville, MD from John Brown + Sons, May 2, 1908" written in contemporary ink. John Brown and Sons was a Hardware and Machinests' Supplies firm on Pratt Street in Baltimore, and their letterhead makes up the bookplate. Possibly related directly to the Abolishonist, thus a unique association piece. Certainly associated to the hardware store, where the first man to die in the Civil War was removed to after he was shot but before he died, and where he was given first aid by the store owner.
