A fascinating early biographical work on Charles A. S. Vivian (1842–1880), English-born actor and founder of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (B.P.O.E.). Written by Imogen Holbrook Vivian and published just two decades after Vivian's death, this slim volume is among the earliest printed tributes to the Elks' founder and his legacy in American fraternal culture.
The book features a striking pictorial teal-green cloth cover showing a golden elk and a clock striking eleven — a key symbol of the Elks' ritual. An uncommon and desirable title for fraternal or Elks collectors.
