Maroon cloth boards with black and gold stamping are soiled and worn at edges with fraying at head and tail of spine and at corners. Pencilled notation on half title page. Text is tanned but appears otherwise clean and unmarked. Includes 15 illustrations. No dust jacket. We have a number of books on the history of the Northwest Territories and Kentucky on offer.
