About This Item
London: W. Jeffs. Good+. 1861. Hardcover. Complete set of two volumes. Rebound in brown buckram. There is wear and rubbing to the spine edges and corners of the rebinding. Some light foxing to some of the pages. Some of the illustrated plates have abstaining at the edges, which looks to have been the condition they were in when the book was bound. This was a landmark publication of the time, chronicling the establishment and development of the Salt Lake Valley and with a detailed sociological and historical look at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. .
