Josh Yearout was an archivist in Special Collections, Wichita State University Library. For his master’s degree in Public History (cum laude 2005) he wrote a study on pre-World War Two Wichita jazz. On July 7, 2009, at the age of 33, Josh passed away from cancer, leaving a wife and daughter.
Rowfant Press specializes in Wichita history, and is publishing Josh’s jazz study because it is a worthy addition to our city’s musical and entertainment history. Wichita bootlegging is a key area of research in the book. Profits from this limited press run are going to his family.
The book is a 96-page, perfect bound paperback with illustrations. Readers will be impressed with Josh’s research hours and writing style—and the antics of Wichitans in the Jazz Age.
Books will be sold at the reception for $10.00
Partial funding for publication received from Tom and Jill Docking, Caffe Moderne, Senseney Music, and by Wichita State University College of Fine Arts, Office of the Dean. Books also available at Caffe Moderne, Senseney Music, and the Kansas African American Museum. Reception sponsored by Mary Nelson and Mickey Sheaks, Wichita City Arts, the Arts Council, Jack Wilson and Stan Shook.
