1834 New Haven. Published by L. H. Young. Illustrated w/ loads of great engravings. Fine calfskin cover w/ gilt decoration. beautiful condition! really interesting stories - most of which i'd never heard before. one is a really sad account of the billions of american passenger pigeons massacred by people and written by john james audubon. i've read lots of the stories already - can hardly put it down.
A fascinating antiquarian book and understand why you can't put it down.
thank you solver! there is a wonderful story in it about two brothers who fought on opposite sides during the american revolution. i had never heard this story and it's beautifully told here in this book.
