Letters from Francis Parkman to E.G. Squier : with bibliographical notes and a bibliography of E.G. Squier

Edition of two hundred copies from the Torch Press. The Torch Press was founded in Cedar Rapids, Iowa by Luther A. Brewer (1858-1933) in 1907. In 1909, Brewer also opened The Torch Press Book Shop. The shop was a natural outgrowth of Brewer's book collecting interests. By 1911 it was the biggest and most successful bookstore west of Chicago, offering new publications and some astonishing antiquarian pieces, including Abraham Lincoln ephemera. The Torch Press imprints varied widely, including a Christmas series, a nature series, histories, homespun philosophies, bibliographies, and book sales catalogs.
