Additional Details

first edition, inscribed and signed by the author: "Nicholas Longworth Esq., the worthy son of worthy sires, Comp. of W. P. Dabney, April 2, 1926." A collection of biographies, as the title implies, of Cincinnati's colored Citizens, but greatly enhanced by a virtually definitive history of the presence of people of African descent in Ohio and specifically Cincinnati.
