What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Illustrated

First edition. An fascinating work of American history from the nineteenth century, written by Percy G. Ebbutt. “This account of Kansas emigrant life in the 1870's was written by a young man who had returned to his home in England and was writing his account for a British audience. Consequently, he describes and explains many things that were so familiar to an American of the time, such as how to make a corn shock, that they are rarely mentioned in American books written for Americans.” - Lynn H. Nelson

Condition

In a full cloth binding, with a pictorial front boards and gilt lettering. Externally, generally smart. Fading to the spine. Light bumping to the head and tail of the spine, and also to the extremities. The front hinge is very lightly strained, but firm. Internally firmly bound. Pages are generally clean with the odd marks, mainly to the plates, not affecting the text.

Very Good
