Item Description:
" Autobiographical Sketch of My Life " by Ethelbert Callahan , LL.D. , 1915,
this is a signed first edition (probably only edition)(click window below to see item;
Note*sometimes the scanned image is a little slow to appear). this books contains family
history from the 19th century , (he was in his eighties when he wrote the book)so I
figured it would supply some geneaology reference, there are a number of neat
illustrations of other Callahans. He was a prominent attorney(he was a past president of
the Illinois State Bar Association. the book is largely based in his past speeches and
addresses (Eulogies, association speeches, etc.)& contains references to many of the
changes in late 19th century Illinois & America. The book is in overall very nice
shape. There is a two page section that is loose(it Is in the book, it's just loose).
Other than that & some thumbprints on the intoduction page, the book is in
surprisingly good condition with just minimal handling & shelfwea!
!
r. This is a truly rare book .
