http://cgi.ebay.com/TAPPEN-NORTH-DAKOTA-HISTORY-1878-1978-AREA-GENEALOGY_W0QQitemZ300344843109QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAntiquarian_Collectible?hash=item45edf29b65&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
THIS BOOK IS TITLED "100 YEARS OF PROGRESS : TAPPEN (NORTH DAKOTA) CENTENNIAL : 1878-1978". THIS VERY LARGE 536 PAGE HARDCOVER VOLUME WAS PRIVATELY PRINTED AROUND 1978 THOUGH NOT STATED AND IT WAS COMPILED BY THE CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE. THE FIRST 50 PAGES DETAIL THE CITY'S HISTORY WHILE THE MAJORITY OF THE VOLUME'S TEXT FOCUSES ON FAMILY HISTORIES. THE LAST 115 PAGES OF THIS BOOK ARE SEPARATELY NUMBERED AND INDEXED AND NOTED AS "AN ADDITION COMPRISING TWELVE YEARS". IT APPEARS THAT MUCH OF THE BOOK'S TEXT WAS COMPILED AND WRITTEN IN THE MID 1960'S. THE VOLUME IS COVERED IN A GREEN CLOTH BINDING WHICH IS QUITE SOILED FRONT AND BACK AS ARE THE SIDE AND LOWER PAGE EDGES. "TAPPEN" IS WRITTEN ALONG THE BOTTOM PAGE EDGES AS WELL. THE TEXT PORTION IS IN GOOD PLUS CONDITION - A FEW PAGES HAVE DARKENED OUTLINES FROM STORED NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS . MANY OF THE FEATURED FAMILIES ARE ACCOMPANIED BY PHOTO ILLUSTRATIONS. THIS MAY BE THE MOST COMPLETE SMALL TOWN HISTORY THAT I HAVE LISTED TO DATE.
