About This Item
Hartford: E.T. Pease & Co, 1854. Softcover. Very good. Pamphlet (approximately 6 3/4" x 9"), stitched as issued. 51pp. with illustrations. Original pictorial printed paper wrappers with publisher's advertisement on rear wrapper. In 1854, a huge boiler explosion at a Hartford factory left 19 dead and another 23 injured. A local publisher issued this pamphlet shortly thereafter, gathering a number of accounts of the tragedy along with the texts of sermons delivered by two local clergymen on the meaning of it all. Contemporary owner's signature at the top right hand corner of front wrapper. Modest soiling to front wrapper and spine beginning to chip. Still a very good copy.
