Octavo, softbound, v, 127 pp. Very Good, with light foxing (age darkened spotting) to endpapers, and slight wear to covers. From Introduction: It is most fitting that the first full account of the loss of the steamer City of Columbus should be written by a newspaperman who grew up close by the scene, because the story of the tragedy was one of the big news stories of the day...Now, through the pages which follow, we have not only a complete record of the event but one written by a man who has spent years of feeling out its mysteries and balancing its facts...Thus, we have, as if dredged from the depths of the past, the complete record of Disaster on Devil’s Bridge.
