Lawrence, KS: Journal Publishing Company, 1898. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Octavo, 487 pages, brown cloth, front hinge cracking at title-page.

ASSOCIATION COPY. Tipped-in is a letter, dated 4 April 1903, from Paul .R. Brooks, Cashier of the Lawrence National Bank, and personal friend of the author. Brooks explains that the books was published by Journal Publishing for the Author, and that it could only then be obtained from the Governor's widow. Brooks explains that, contrary to the fake news in Richardson's BEYOND THE MISSISSIPPI, Gov. Robinson "was never tried for treasons, after being kept prisoner for four months", explaining what did occur. This copy was inscribed by Mrs. Robinson to the inquirer, David Weaver, on 8 April. Tipped-in at the rear pastedown is a glossy photograph of the trial of Gov. Robinson. "It is written for two reasons: The first is the importunity of persons who were actors or sympathizers in making a free State of Kansas; and the second, that no writer thus far has taken the view that seems to me the true one of the movements made by the Free-State party, and of the causes and reasons for the same." - Preface.

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.
