About This Item
Garden City: Doubleday Doran, 1937. First Edition. First Printing Near fine in decorated dark green cloth covered boards with map end papers with the hinge areas of the end papers showing very faint foxing due to a reaction with the glue employed in binding as is often found with this printing. In a very good+, unclipped dust jacket with very minor rubbing and wear to the ends of the spine area. Signed "With all the good wishes of | Kenneth Roberts" by the author on the title page. 709 pages of text. This was one of Robert's most popular books dealing with Major Robert Rogers, of Roger's Rangers and the French and Indian War. Very uncommon in such nice condition and signed without a personal inscription.
