About This Item
Durham, NC: W. T. Blackwell & Co, 1878. First Edition. Sewn binding. Very good. Octavo, 20pp. About very good in the publisher's pale pink side-sewn wrappers. Wrappers partly perished along the very fragilt spine, with some small insect holes and a few stains. Contents clean. A scarce 19th century North Carolina imprint, which presents the lengthy biographical tribute by the sitting governor, Zebulon Vance, to a recently deceased former governor, David Swain. Swain had been governor in the 1830s, but remained active in North Carolina politics through the end of the Civil War and afterwards. He died in 1868, weeks after being thrown from a horse that had been gifted to him by General Sherman. Thornton 14202. Not in Sabin. Scarce.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
