About This Item
Songs of the Sierras was the most notable work of American journalist and poet Joaquin Miller (1837-1913). The work was incredibly popular in England for its romantic portrayal of the Old West, though was less popular for the same reason in the US.
This copy is in Good condition. There is wear to the brown cloth covering the boards, and significant bumping to the edges of the boards. The gilt on the spine is quite faded. This copy has dark grey/green endpapers which have notes in pencil from previous authors, and exhibit some wear and small tears. There is foxing to the pages, and one of the initial pages has remnants of a pencil note that has been erased. Page 13 has a stain of some kind, but it does not make any of the text illegible, and otherwise the pages are clear and legible save for some age-related discolouration. The back hinge is also cracked
