Beschreibung

9 1/2 x 6". 92 pgs. Original gray wraps bound into black cloth with a brown leather label on the spine. The edge of the original wraps cover has a paper tape repair. It and the newer flyleaf are partialy detached. An old catalog description of this book is pasted inside the cover. This second edition which shortly followed the first has the added 8 page postscript with further particulars of the overland journey and Brigham Young. Two small old newspaper articles concerning Mormons and the author are pasted in on page 84. A short pencil written "review" by an early reader is on the last page. A fragile and uncommon book by an eye-witness and participant in the overland journey by the Mormons in 1846 to Utah. Kane was not a Mormon and attempted to give a neutral report. He wrote the postscript in this edition in order to rebuke those who thought he was being too favorable to the Mormons who he found to be of "above average character".
