Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Second Edition, reprinted. x, 370, [4] pages. Occasional footnotes. Maps. Illustrations. Index. Autobiography of the author. Bibliography. The author became superintendent of the foundry of the Watertown Arsenal of the Ordnance Department of the U.S. Army during the First World War. He returned to government service during the Second World War serving with the Maritime Commission. While he was a real estate broker he collected a vast amount of information on the homes in Montgomery County. During this time he sold more than one million dollars worth of property and the information he acquired he used in this work.
