You are looking at a\"1959 EARLY SEATTLE PROFILES BY \"HB\" HENRY BRODERICK SIGNED\" This item is part of a body of work by Henry Broderick (1890-1975) a highly respected Seattle civic leader and longtime president of the city\'s largest real estate firm. For many years HB wrote a Christmas booklet that he sent to many friends and dignitaries. What follows is some of the history we found on the booklets. This information will give you insight into history about this book.
Beginning with Christmas 1932 up until his death Henry Broderick wrote small yearly historical booklets and mailed them inscribed and hand addressed to his friends as holiday greetings. These booklets in which he was both participant and personal observer, were highly prized by the recipients. Broderick told reporter Lucille McDonald- (1898-1992), \"Friends have told others about my booklets and I\'ve received letters asking to be placed on my list. As a result I have built up a correspondence with persons all over the country, some of whom are prominent in the writing world\" (the Seattle Times, December 21, 1958). Frank McCaffrey\'s Dogwood Press printed the booklets, eventually in editions upwards of 500 copies. Broderick also collected his Christmas musings into two book length memoirs Timepiece and The \"HB\" story.
As Broderick aged and especially as he continued to publish these yearly booklets of memories and musings, anecdotes, some of them probable apocryphal about his individual eccentricities began accumulating in the press. These were fond tributes that emphasize the general affection in which his city held him.
This Item is Early Seattle Profiles by Henry Broderick. This book details some of the early history of Seattle. This item is in good used condition for its age, but there are couple of minor cosmetic issues. There\'s some writing in the upper right corner of the cover and on the inside first page.
