About This Item
University of Chicago Press, ( 1913). First edition. Hardcover. Good. 8vo, vii, 480 pages, blue cloth lightly stained
Quaife was, arguably, the foremost historian of Chicago working in the first half of the 20th century. This is his revisionist history of the first 150 years of Chicago history. The final quarter of the book gives the texts of first-hand accounts of the Ft. Dearborn massacre. [ Howes Q1]. Note: his extensive annotated bibliography is more than noteworthy.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
