Object is a dark brown book titled "Guides and Guards in Character Building." Book is hard-bound and was written by C.H. Payne around 1883. The novel has a red ribbon placeholder, and the title is printed on the side in gold ink, along with the author's last name and the publisher, Eaton & Mains. Nothing is printed on the front or back title of the book. On the first page of the book, the name J.M. Quindry (which stands for John M. Quindry), the town of Albion, Illinois, and the year 1901 are written in faint pencil. The author was the President of the Ohio Wesleyan University, a 'doctor of divinity,' and 'doctor of laws.' There is also a quote below the title, reading, "'The true shekinah is man.'--Chrysostom."
The book was published by Eaton & Mains in New York and Curts & Jennings in Cincinnati. From this, it can be inferred that this is the New York version of the book. This novel was copyrighted by Phillips & Hunt (New York) in 1883. Book is 360 pages long. The author's purpose is to teach the reader about how to write compelling characters based on the examples of biblical and historic figures. Book most likely belonged to John Quindry, who had moved to Broomfield from his home and birthplace, Illinois.Collection
