About This Item
Seattle: The Harrison Publishing Company, 1908. First edition. 24x16cm, [25]pp. Printed, stapled wraps, edges untrimmed. Toning and smudging to covers with wear along spine. Clean internally and very good.
Early 20th century Seattle imprint, a collection of verse bemoaning the slow demise of the logging camp as an institution, and with it, the profession of lumber jack.
We find no mention of this publication, though a couple newspapers provide some history regarding the publisher. According to The Daily Alaskan, Skagway, 1910, Col. E. S. Harrison was a prospector in Alaska before entering the newspaper field. He later established the Harrison Publishing Company and moved it to Seattle. The Tacoma Daily Ledger in 1906 states the company was incorporated that year with $75,000.
We find only a couple of other titles from this publisher in OCLC, each held by just 1 or 2 institutions. .
