Condition: Very Good Plus, with minor edgewear and a few small exterior marks. Inside is clean, tight and mildly age-toned. The Springfield, Massachusetts Author, Dr. Robert Thaxter Edes (1838-1923) was a Harvard professor and physician, who wrote this historical fiction title concerning colonial America in the years running up to Gen. Wolfe's capture of Quebec in 1759. Despite a religious-sounding title, this is definitely a book full of pre-revolutionary militia action. The Lac Saint Sacrement separates Maine from Quebec and was the site of the fore-mentioned battle. ALS included mentions this book. (The author also wrote a popular dime novel: "The Story of Rodman Heath: Or, Mugwumps, by One of Them.". First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good Plus.
