Dr. Lavendar's People by Margaret Deland First Edition - Harper & Brothers Publishers 1903 (titlepage date and copyright page date match, 1903). One of her "Old Chester" books which centers around communities in Pittsburg. 370 pages followed by ads. Illustrated with 12 plates. Signed - Inscribed by the author.
