Beschreibung

Third edition, 1858, stating "Fourteenth Thousand" to the title page, the first two editions being considerably harder to find. "Good only" condition with considerable foxing/browning, especially to page margins, and an occasional darker stain (please see scans) -- the interior a bit unattractive but firmly re-bound and still easily read. Re-bound in gray library buckram with the original, ornately blind-stamped brown cloth from both boards laid down. New gilt spine titles stamped to black leather label. The full-page map and the other 14 called-for illustrations, five of them (including frontispiece portrait of the rescued survivor Olive Oatman, with chin tattoo) being full-page plates, are present and firmly attached. Laid in is a hand-written note from Winifred B. Pershing (probably born Winifred L. Bray, 1871 in Illinois) offering a partial provenance for this copy through her brother, E.M. Bray. 290 pp. followed by 2 pp. "Notices of the Press." One of the more popular "Indian captivity" narratives of the era. "Good only." Reduced from $700. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 004911
