What Our Customers Say...

Description

This work explores the author's travels to the Aleutian Islands, Behring's Sea, Eastern Siberia, Japan, Korea, China, Formosa, Hong Kong, and the Philippine Islands.

John D. Ford (1840-1918) was a naval officer during the American Civil War and the Spanish-American War, and fleet engineers of the Pacific Station in the United States Navy.

Richly illustrated throughout with vignette photographs and three maps, including a frontispiece of the author.

This work is uncommon, with a charming pictorial cover.

Condition

In the publisher's original pictorial full cloth binding. Externally very smart, some slight bumping to extremities and the head and tail of the spine, with a small chip to the tail. Internally generally firmly bound, front hinge is strained but firm. Pages are bright and clean, bar the occasional spot.

Very Good
