Sobre este artículo
New York: Harper & Brothers, Pubslishers, 1859. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. Good. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. John M'Lenan. 12mo. 269, [4] pages. TITLE PAGE IN FACSIMILE. Hardcover bound in original blue publisher's cloth with spine titles in gilt and cover designs in blind. The binding is worn and bumped and has some fraying and tearing at the spine ends. A couple of nicks on the spine are touched up with blue. A sound copy with secure inner hinges. Appears to have two identical facsimile title pages tipped in (consequently lacking the original title; the frontis is NOT in facsimile). The text has some moderate foxing throughout. An early owner's blind stamped name is on the first page of the text. There is a folding newspaper article pasted onto the rear pastedown. Collates complete with all illustrations, including the frontis. A scarce volume of 19th century humor looking at the people and stories of Surry County, North Carolina. Hardin Edward Taliaferro (1811-1875) was a southern American humorist and Baptist preacher born near Pine Ridge in Surry County, North Carolina. He was raised in Surry County, but he moved to Tennessee and Alabama and spent much of his life as a Baptist preacher in Alabama. This is his most famous book and is drawn on the people and places in old Surry County.
