About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Baltimore Hats by William T. Brigham. Read in English by Jennifer Dorr; P. J. Morgan; Lynne Thompson; Lucretia B.; Kimberly Krause; April Walters; JDGavin It is not impossible that some useful information may be conveyed by this book. Should these pages prove of such service, their cost in labor is most cheerfully donated. This volume is composed of a series of articles which appeared in a Trade Journal, covering a period of two years from 1887 to 1889. It must be accepted as but a brief history of an industry long identified with Baltimore. Thanks are due the Librarian of the Maryland Historical Society and Mr. B. R. Sheriff for favors in lending rare and valuable old City directories; also to the many citizens who kindly aided and assisted in the search for needed information. The Author. (from the Preface)
