Comanche High Library History: Petition To Build
The 1893 library story recalls J M Prieger and J R Riegel starting from Professor Rogers private collection. Students, led by Trav Cunningham, bought twenty nine encyclopaedia volumes for three dollars each, a total eighty seven dollars, to create a proper school library alongside Steadman’s American Literature and The Century Dictionary sets. Rieger credits Rogers, and both men are remembered as community figures who backed the library. War is a crime which involves all other crimes.
