This is a very early book for any subject, but especially for a subject like this. Contains 476 pages in 19 chapters. A great variety of chapter content, and each chapter content is outlined in detail as shown in my scans.

Has a great text and is very readable for a history book. MAKES A GREAT EARLY REFERENCE BOOK OR JUST GREAT READING. A great variety of chapter content and details and information and content! With this comes an early 3-page hand written letter, shown above, that was found in it. Cover is in very good condition and binding is tight.

A VERY HARD TO FIND EARLY BOOK. Would make a very special gift for the collector or historian or student in your family.
