Illustrated with facsimiles of 23 letters from the abductors and 16 engravings of Charley his brother views of his parent's home etc. Laid-in is Patterson Smith's article THE LITERATURE OF RANSOM KIDNAPPING IN AMERICA from AB Bookman's Weekly April 23 1990. In it Smith says the Charley Ross case was the first kidnapping for ransom in America. The entire nation became caught up in the tragedy. Even a song BRING BACK OUR DARLING was published in sheet music form. Smith describes this first edition as: "the foundation work on the case and the cornerstone of a kidnapping collection."

Gilt lettering on the spine is still bright and shiny. Rare in condition as nice as this. The family initially relied on the police and the Pinkerton Agency. As the tragedy unfolded they sought help from just about anyone who came forward even convicts and spiritualists. The family eventually spent over $60000 in their futile search. The book's subtitle reads: A Full and Complete Account of the Abduction of Charles Brewster Ross from the Home of His Parents in Germantown Pennsylvania with the pursuit of the abductors and their tragic death; the various incidents connected with the search for the lost boy the discovery of other lost children etc. etc." .

Ross, Christian K.
THE FATHER'S STORY OF CHARLEY ROSS, THE KIDNAPPED CHILD. From the Home Of His Parents In Germantown.
431 p. Illustrations. 8vo. Very worn publisher's cloth binding. On July 1, 1874 two little boys were abducted in front of their family's mansion. It was the first kidnapping for ransom in the history of th e United States. And it would be the major event of its kind until the Lindbergh baby kidnapping. The boys were named Charley and Walter Ross; they were 4 and 6 years old. The two men who kidnapped th em had given the boys candy on previous occasions. That day, however, the men told the boys to climb into their buggy and promised to buy them firecrackers. The boys boarded and they drove off into th e city. Charley would never be seen again. As they drove farther away, Charley wanted to go home and began to cry. The men stopped in front of a store and gave Walter 25 cents. He entered the store and started choosing firecrackers, while the men drove away with Charley. The boys' father, Christian K. Ross, thought the boys were playing in a neighbor's yard. But soon a neighbor told him that she saw the boys traveling in a buggy. The father began the search for his son that he would continue until his death. He didn't tell his wife at first, who was recovering from an illness in Atlantic City. Two days later, however, she found out when he began advertising in the newspapers for his sons' return. A stranger found Walter and returned him to his father. Walter related the tale. Two days after that, the father received a crude note, saying that Charley would be released for a sum of money. On July 7, came another note demanding $20,000 and instructing the boy's father how to go about paying the kidnappers. The father tried to follow the instructions as best he could but never contacted the kidnappers. Later that year, police were investigating the kidnapping of a Vanderbilt child and found a ransom note in that case that matched closely the one for Charley Ross. They identified the handwriting as fugitive convict William Mosher's. Mosher was killed during a burglary in Brooklyn, but his partner Joseph Douglas identified Mosher as the kidnapper of Charley Ross. Douglas died insisting that only Mosher had known where Charley was being held. Douglas also said that Charley would be returned safely in a few days. He never was, and the father spent $60,000 in his futile search. Imposters came forward in the years afterward claiming to be the missing boy. Each was disproved. Charley's father died in 1897, his mother in 1912. Walter Ross died in 1943. The Ross mansion was torn down in 1926. The Cliveden Presbyterian Church now stands on the site of the kidnapping. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! PA 28
