H. M. Caldwell, New York
In 1896 Herbert M. Caldwell established his New York publishing
house. He had previously worked for the Henry Altemus publishing firm.
Like Altemus, a majority of Caldwell's books were in publisher’s series
and those titles were reprints of the classics, fiction, poetry, etc.
Caldwell was in business between 1896 and 1913. It printed one T. S.
Arthur title: Ten Nights in a Bar Room. It is a reprint and was only
published in Caldwell's Series.
The series and the years that "Ten Nights" was in each series are noted
below. Representative pictures of each format are shown when I do not
have an actual picture of the "Ten Nights" title.
