John Frederick Weishampel, Jr
John Frederick Weishampel, Jr. (Baltimore, Maryland, April 22, 1832 – 189?) was a printer and publisher who was prolific in the mid-nineteenth century. His print shop was located at 484 West Baltimore Street in Baltimore. The most historically significant book that Weishampel published was A Narrative of the Life of Rev. Noah Davis, a Colored Man (1859). This nonprofit book was printed to raise money to buy two of Davis' children out of slavery. Davis himself had been born a slave.
Weishampel was a third-generation Prussian-American and son of Rev. John Frederick Weishampel.
