Description
Chicago : R. Mejdrich & Co., 1952. First edition; 6 x 9; pp. [6], 5-571, [1]; brown textured cloth over boards; embossed gilt title and decorations; some rubbing to head and tail of spine and very minor foxing to margins of a few pages; illustrated with color plate frontis and numerous b&w photographs; very good or better. Published on the seventy-fifth anniversary of the establishment of the Bohemian National Cemetery ( (Czech: Český národní hřbitov) in Chicago, the book describes, in prose and pictures, the history and notable events of the landmark (which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006). The first documented case of a Czech national in North America was back in 1585 as part of the expedition of Sir Walter Raleigh and the first significant wave of Czech immigrants arrived in the early 1700s. During the Civil War many Czechs served in both the Union and the Confederate Armies. The Bohemian National Cemetery was established several years after the war as a result of the refusal of other cemeteries in Chicago to bury a Czech Catholic woman. One of its memorable interments is Elsie Paroubek, the five-year-old murder victim, who was the inspiration for recluse and Outsider Art master Henry Darger's novel "The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What is known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion."
