Sobre este artículo
1837. MacCABE, Julius P. Bolivar. A Directory the Cities of Cleveland and Ohio City, For the Years 1837-38: comprising historical and descriptive sketches of each place-an alphabetical list of inhabitants, their business and residence...and a variety of other useful information. Cleveland, 1837. [42], 144pp. A 12mo. Original publisher's half cloth and printed paper boards. Spine neatly repaired, boards scuffed and somewhat dampstained, edges and corners worn. Light tanning and dampstaining. In a half calf slipcase. The first directory compiled for the city of Cleveland, and "also its first history" (Howes). It contains an essay on the history of Cleveland, a copy of the charter for the city's incorporation from 1836, a description of the current state of the city including an enumeration of public officials and details of available services, and an alphabetical list of residents and businesses. At the rear is a small section giving a short description of Ohio City and a list of its residents. Although Ohio City lies directly across the Cuyahoga River from Cleveland, at this early date it was incorporated as a separate entity. Thirty-four pages of advertisements are bound at the front. Relevant ibliographies call for forty-two such pages, but it seems nothing is lacking from this copy. The compiler, Julius P. Bolivar MacCabe, during this period completed the first directories for several other cities as well, including Detroit and Lexington, Kentucky. The Cleveland dealer Peter Keiselgoff bought this at the Streeter sale in 1968 for $525.
