About This Item
Topeka: Jones & Birch. First Edition . Cloth - Hard Cover. Good/No Dust Jacket. 97 pages with numerous photos and illustrations. Association inscription from the author's ex-wife reads in full: "About my first husband: / As I Knew Charles, He / always wrote what he / believed right or wrong. / He was sincere / Mary Huntoon McEntarfer (aka Mary Huntoon; McEntarfer was her third married name)." This is a very scarce regimental history, with no copies currently on the market (6/19/21); no copies listed in auction records; and only four copies found in WorldCat. Brown cloth covers are a little rubbed and lightly soiled. Hinges (internal) are both cracked, though holding tight. The blank front free end leaf shows the ex-wife's inscription, as well as penciled notations from a previous bookseller. There are also two inked letters followed by five digits seen on this page. Contents are a little aged and slightly brittle. There are several closed tears restricted to the margins, as well as a few very small chips on edges.

About Lloyd Zimmer, Books and Maps
With more than 25 years of experience buying and selling out-of-print, collectible, and rare books, maps, and ephemera, I am now doing business from my home at 60 Poplar Heights Rd.; Chanute, KS 66720; U.S.A. by appointment only. I offer a selection of more than 5000 books of all genre, as well as more than 1000 maps ranging from 15th century to early 20th. All inventory is hand selected and believed to be of significance for the collector, the reader, the historian or the general book lover. Historically, I have specialized in Kansas and regional history, but also maintain quality collections of Natural History, Theology, Americana, Railroad, Travel and Exploration, Medicine, Art, and Psychology, Neurology, and Psychiatry. Fine bindings, plate books, signed and inscribed items are an important part of my collections. Smaller, though intriguing collections of other genre are also a part of my holdings. Appraisal, consultation, and collection development services are available. Please come and browse, talk books, and have a cup of coffee in a relaxed and book friendly environment. But for the convenience of both of us, please email or call first. Trade terms available and dealers are welcome.
