About This Item
Cincinnati: The Society, 1893. Hardcover. Small 4to. Emerald green blind-embossed pebble-grained cloth over beveled boards with gilt lettering and decorations. 578pp, (26pp). Tissue-guarded color frontispiece, tissue-guarded full-page plate, decorative endpapers. Near fine. Very faintest of minor binding wear to otherwise spectacularly fine copy. Superb, tight first edition of this reunion series, here containing reports for the 21st, 22nd and 23rd proceedings. This exceptional copy, with gilt as bright as the day published, bears the large ownership signature on front flyleaf of "D.B. Henderson / Dubuque Iowa." David B. Henderson (1840-1906) served Congress as U.S. Representative from Iowa from 1883 to 1903 and as Speaker of the House from 1899 to 1903 -- more importantly, he served valiantly in the Union army from 1861 to 1864, getting shot in the neck at the Battle of Fort Donelson and losing a foot and part of a leg in the Second Battle of Corinth, both in 1862. An outstanding copy with interesting provenance.
