Hamilton and Kendrick (1891 - 1903) was a Denver, Colorado based publishing firm active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The firm was founded by Charles Almond Kendrick and William F. Hamilton. Kendrick (October 17, 1862 - September 16, 1946) was born in Randolph, Ohio, but moved to Colorado with his family in 1875. Kendrick got involved in ranching and developed significant holdings just west of Denver. In 1891, he provided financing for William F. Hamilton (1860 - April 16, 1900) to establish a printing and publishing concern, 'Hamilton and Kendrick'. When Hamilton died 9 years later, Kendrick gave up ranching and moved to Denver to take over management. In 1903 it was renamed Kendrick Book and Stationery Company, and again in 1909 as Kendrick-Bellamy Company, reflecting a new partner, Harry Elbert Bellamy. In cartographic circles the firm of Hamilton and Kendrick is best known as the publisher of Louis Nell's (1842 - 1908) Topographical Map of the State of Colorado, issued from 1886 to 1907.
