I’m not 100% sure whether this is a first edition or just a very old book. One page says “1872”, another says “1873”. A rather rare book title regardless, and definitely rare to find one this old! Selling as is, you can see there is some significant damage to the binding, and binding is loose. Some pages are nearly falling out, but none are missing to my knowledge upon inspection. Pages themselves are actually in good condition for a book this old, and some are illustrated. Has a (typed) dedication to Gen. Sherman at the beginning. Please see pics for full condition details and ask any questions prior to purchase. Thank you!!
