Six Years in Bondage and Freedom at Last. A Tale of Prison Life
Waco: Huff Show Print, [1896?]. 24pp. Stitching perished. Wear and chipping to edges, heavier in upper gutter corner. Toned. Good. Item #1152
The story of Flave J. Weaver and his tale of life behind bars. Born in Fulton County, Illinois in 1867, Weaver was raised in Washington County, Kansas by decent parents. He became entangled with the wrong crowd as a young man, spending the next few years in and out of prison. He concludes with a conversion to Christianity and a return to his parents as a new man in Christ. OCLC locates a single copy of a Pine Bluff, Arkansas printing; a single copy of a Kansas City printing; and three copies of an unidentified printing, all from 1896; we locate two copies of this undated Waco printing, presumably from the same year, at Yale and SMU.
