$500 · Offered by William Reese Company

INCIDENTS AND SKETCHES CONNECTED WITH THE EARLY HISTORY AND SETTLEMENT OF THE WEST. WITH NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS. An interesting popular compilation of western adventure, including Daniel Boone, early colonial history, skirmishes with natives, accounts of overland travel and the like. "A rare work...Some of the full-page woodcut plates are both unique and interesting. The work is a miscellany with articles on the Mississippi by J.M. Peck, and other articles describing the women of the prairie, manners and customs, etc. It was probably arranged by J.M. Peck for James, the publisher" - Decker. "This book is a collection from newspapers, and other equally authentic sources, of fragments of narratives of border life and Indian warfare" - Field.
