About This Item
Kansas City, Missouri: Ramsey, Millett and Hudson, 1874. Light to moderate corner and edge wear. Gilt cover ruling and spine lettering. Previous owner's name in ink and pencil on a front preliminary page. Several pages have been repaired and secured with linen library tape including frontispiece and title-page. Numerous full-page and text illustrations. Three text pages ( pp. 89,90, 427) and eight pages of advertisements at the end are supplied in facsimile and are laid-in in their appropriate spots.
