Second issue of this Civil War era almanac and business directory from Bancroft, first published in 1862. In unusually clean condition for this cheaply produced volume and also quite interesting for its provenance. John Hume was the brother of western detective and lawman, James B. Hume, famous for his bringing of the notorious outlaw and stage coach robber, Black Bart, to justice. At the time of this publication, John served as District Attorney in El Dorado County, his salary of $2,000 being noted in the almanac. Obed Harvey was a politician and leading physician in El Dorado county (Placerville). He can also be found in the almanac, at the time a senator for the 15th district of California. 8vo, 16.5 x 11cm, [3], 420, [2]pp, plus Bancroft's advertisements on front and rear endpapers. Original taupe cloth stamped in gilt on front cover and spine, and in blind on rear cover. Near fine with some uneven toning and light bubbling to cloth. Clean and complete internally save for the ownership signatures of John Hume and O. Harvey on the front flyleaf. Seller Inventory # 4739
