About This Item

Whiteman, J.A.. YONKERS (YONKERS: THE TERRACE CITY). New York: J.A. Whiteman, 1901. First Thus. Oblong 12mo. Stapled Pictorial Wrappers. Civic History. Good. np (48pp), 30 b&w illustrations + cover. In a protective clear acetate dustwrapper. "Yonkers" is a tiny yet engaging bit of Westchester County civic-boosterism written (and most-likely published) by J.A. Whiteman - author and publisher of the 1887 Adirondacks rarity "Lake George Camp and Canoe-Chats...". Its jaunty text details a glowing history and projection of growth for "The Terrace City" nestled between the Bronx and Hudson rivers, supplemented with photographs documenting its many architectural achievements. Included are commissioned turn of the century views of the Park Hill Country Club, Hotel Wynnstay, Hollywood Inn, Hotel Hendrik Hudson, Statesman Building, Culver's Department Store, Getty Square, Amackassin Club, Van Cortlandt Manor House, "Greystone Residence", "Duncraggan" residence of Wm. F. Cochran, Esq., "Overhill" residence of Edwin K. Martin, Esq., St. Mary's Roman Catholic, First Reformed, St. Andrew's Memorial and First Methodist churches, and many more. An internally most handsome example of this little-known - not a single copy is currently cited in OCLC WorldCat - gem showing overall light wear to its cheerful yellow wrappers, age-appropriate oxidation of the staples, and some pronounced soiling and creasing to the front cover. It has been priced accordingly. Inventory Number: 022262
