Vampires in 1862 Baltimore! The Guardians, Vol. 1: Baltimore, 1862 is a Gothic Horror story, told in the epistolary style. Baltimore, Maryland. 1862. A city torn by the strife of the Civil War and Martial Law. But, beneath this war between men and states there is a deeper evil lurking in Baltimore. An evil that, unless checked, threatens to destroy ALL mankind. And, the only hope to combat this threat are three broken people. Dr. Artemis Strapp, grief-stricken physician who discovers his part to play in an eons-old battle between this world and creatures of the “other-natural”. Mare Adams, business woman and compassionate brothel owner, thrust into the position of unwilling soldier on the front lines of this battle. Lucius Williamson, free Negro lawyer but oppressed by the very society he now needs to defend, cursed with a supernatural ability called The Gift to see events others cannot. Together, they will unite, dedicated to eradicating an ancient evil threatening to destroy the city they all call home. This book is the perfect marriage of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

This biographical dictionary of some 3,000 photographers (and workers in related trades), active in a vast area of North America before 1866, is based on extensive research and enhanced by some 240 illustrations, most of which are published here for the first time. The territory covered extends from central Canada through Mexico and includes the United States from the Mississippi River west to, but not including, the Rocky Mountain states. Together, this volume and its predecessor, Pioneer Photographers of the Far West: A Biographical Dictionary, 1840-1865, comprise an exhaustive survey of early photographers in North America and Central America, excluding the eastern United States and eastern Canada. This work is distinguished by the large number of entries, by the appealing narratives that cover both professional and private lives of the subjects, and by the painstaking documentation. It will be an essential reference work for historians, libraries, and museums, as well as for collectors of and dealers in early American photography. In addition to photographers, the book includes photographic printers, retouchers, and colorists, and manufacturers and sellers of photographic apparatus and stock. Because creators of moving panoramas and optical amusements such as dioramas and magic lantern performances often fashioned their works after photographs, the people behind those exhibitions are also discussed.
