Please Note: This item will be shipped from Alaska. Longer shipping times should be expected. Read more below.

One of several surplus books purchased in large book lots, which I'm pairing with bran new facsimiles and listing at very low prices (less than the value of the dj alone), hoping to find them a good home.

Bobbs Merrill 1900
Probable First Edition book in Lovely Reprint Facsimile Dust Jacket

Many beautiful illustrations by F. C. Yohn.

THE VOLUME: Exterior covers are worn and rubbed, particularly along spine edges, tips, and board corners. Gilt on front cover illustration and titles is still quite bright, bright though somewhat rubbed on spine. The interior of the book is predominantly very clean. A previous owner wrote their name and address on the inner front board. The first blank end paper has been removed, and the loose paper in the hinge area reglued. Feels sturdy, but still should be handled with care.

THE DUSTJACKET: A NEW FACSIMILE copy of the dust jacket, which sold with the Reprint Edition of this story. I'm guessing the First Edition used this same illustration since both the dust jacket illustration and the interior illustrations are by F. C. Yohn. The dust jacket was made from a high resolution scan of an original in very good condition from my own collection, and printed with archival quality paper and inks (80 yr inks) and protected by an archival quality dust jacket cover.

THE STORY: “'To the historian,' says Mr. Thompson, 'this may seem but an idle romance, while to the lover of romance, it may look strangely like a history.' If the truth be known, though, the tale of Alice Tarleton weaves out the poignant story of her love for a young rebel officer against the glorious historical background of Colonel George Rogers Clark's conquest of the Wabash Valley in the revolutionary days.”
