You are looking at a"1964 HENRY BRODERICK HISTORICAL BOOKLET ~ EARLY STAGES OF SEATTLE ~ SIGNED FOR FRIENDS" This item is a booklet by Henry Broderick (1890-1975) a highly respected Seattle civic leader and longtime president of the city's largest real estate firm. What follows is some of the history we found on the booklets.
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 booklet is labeled Early Stages of Seattle (1964). This item is in good used condition for its age, but there are a number of cosmetic issues. The front and back covers show damage that consists of dinged corners, rough edges fading and writing on the upper right corner. The inside is in nice used condition with only minor dinged corners and writing on the inside page. This book is one of many that we will be listing and it gives a different kind of insight into what was going on in Seattle in 1964. It is rare and will make a wonderful addition to your collection of Seattle memorabilia.
