Paperbound. Zustand: Good. Five Woodcuts (illustrator). First Edition. 16mo. 32 pages. Small repair to lower left corner of front cover. Faint old damp marks to outer margins of the pages. Sullivan created some confusion by writing three different books with similar titles. This is the earliest; the others are subtitled "His First Trip Up the Trail" and "His Second Trip Up the Trail." According to the preface, the author was residing in New York City at the time of publication. This appears to be a reprint or a piracy because it lacks the printed statement "Copyright 1888" on the front cover. Book.
