Journal of Antiquity

An advertisement was placed in the Knoxville Daily Chronicle in late November of 1871.  A new journal would soon be published.  Almost an almanac.  Plenty of room to make notes.

It rolled off the presses in early January.

Dr. C.W. Crozier was Carrick White Crozier, son of Captain John and Hannah Barton Crozier.  His brother, John H. Crozier, was a US Representative in the late 1840s.  Here's a photo of the Crozier brothers and friends.

Two months later the second issue was printed.

Apparently their friends and patrons didn't aid in extending the circulation of this journal.  I cannot find any more information about the Journal of Antiquity, save for the fact that there is one copy in the Rare Book Room at the McClung Collection.  My guess is that the one copy could be both numbers bound together.

From Calvin M. McClung's catalog, there are only two issues in his collection.

I need to make a visit.
