Rohm (Carlisle, Pennsylvania), 8 1/8 x 11 inches tall spiral bound in pale gray printed covers with clear protective overlays, copiously illustrated with black-and-white photographs, maps and facsimiles of family documents as well as one color folding illustration, each of the 16 chapters paginated separately, approx. 250 pp. total. Slight soiling and rubbing to covers. Signed in the year of issue by the author on the blank verso of the front cover, which also has a presentation bookplate from the author to the Samford University Library in Birmingham, Alabama.

Otherwise, apart from a couple of pages with very slight marginal soiling, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked - of this scarce genealogy.
