This excellent souvenir photo album depicts the golf tourney hosted by the Youngstown Country Club in honor of Campbell’s 1854-1933 72nd birthday in 1926. The opening photo depicts all the participants and dignitaries at the Country Club followed by images of players on the greens. The 18-hole course was built on the 131-acre Holland Farm and designed by Walter Travis featuring a $ 60000 Clubhouse which was noted for elegance and model comfort. These images depict the quintessential 1920’s golfing excursion including those of players the greens the roughs caddies and even an image of what appears to be Walter Travis himself taking a turn on the links. The year before in 1925 the Youngstown Country Club had hosted the 25th Open Championship of the Western Golf Assoc. and legends of the game including Walter Hagen Gene Sarazen and Tommy Armour III all played the course. Campbell was an enthusiastic golfer until his death holding a similar tourney in 1929 on his 75th birthday. He had begun his business career by forming the Youngstown Ice Co. in the summer of 1884 and by 1890 was hired as manager of the Trumbull Iron Co. later consolidated into Union Iron & Steel Co. In 1901 he founded Youngstown Steel and Tube Co. but after a failed merger at the beginning of the Great Depression his health declined. See: Ted Heineman James A.

It is the first work by the clergyman and polymath James Grierson M. D. 1768-1844 and the first printing of the first work on the ultimate destination of all those who consider golf sacred.The final chapter here entitled "The Company of Golfers" gives a short history of golf provides "an idea of the nature of this elegant amusement" and describes how the earliest golf balls called "featheries" on account of their stuffing were made. The book is dedicated to Lady Elizabeth Moncreiffe the daughter of the renowned military leader and politician George Ramsay 9th Earl of Dalhousie Governor General of British North America and later Commander-in-Chief of India wife to Sir Thomas Moncreiffe and a woman of considerable wealth. Grierson had served as tutor to her son Sir David Moncreiffe 6th Baronet 1788-1830 early in his career and apparently maintained a connection to the family.
