Author Information

Charles J. Humber was born in St. Lambert, Quebec, July 14, 1936. A graduate of Temple University, B.A. (1962) and The University of Wisconsin, M.A. (1970), Humber also attended The University of Alaska (Fairbanks campus, 1960-61) and studied under H. Northrop Frye at The University of Toronto (1969-1970). Humber and his wife, Gayle Jenkins, a native Californian, are the parents of two daughters, Kristy and Karyn and twin sons, Charlie and Scott. Following a 20-year career as a high school teacher, Humber entered the publishing world when he edited LOYAL SHE REMAINS, a best-seller launched to coincide with the 1984 Ontario Bicentennial celebrations. At the time he was national president of The United Empire Loyalists Association of Canada. In 1986, Mr. Humber co-founded Heirloom Publishing Inc. which produced the nationally acclaimed seven-volume CANADA Heirloom Series. In retirement, Charles Humber has published Family Sleuthing (2006) and Dad's Best Memories (2016), two volumes that trace, among other matters, his family's links to the American Revolution. Cigar Box Lithographs (2018) unquestionably reveals Mr. Humber's passion for collecting antiques and vintage memorabilia. His interest in collecting wooden cigar boxes is showcased in this publication, an extraordinary endeavour that is accentuated with a series of historical lithographs. This ambitious 200-page volume illustrating some 160 vintage cigar boxes, all enhanced by dramatic lithographic images, Cigar Box Lithographs is, in reality, a portrait gallery of various personalities who have inextricably contributed to our rich heritage. Each cigar box is culminated by an ex- tended vignette signifying its historical importance to our rich culture and heritage.
