From the cover: Walter Penn Shipley was crucial to the development of chess in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

It draws from original documents—correspondence with Steinitz, Lasker, Capablanca, Pillsbury and others, detailed Shipley family records—and extensive research conducted in contemporary newspapers, journals and magazines.
