Sobre este artículo
Boston: Ticknor & Fields, 1856. Initially issued anonymously as a political biography for Fremont's run at the presidency. This copy lists Upham as the author, but Fremont was a collaborator. Upham (1802-1875) was a rather well-known politician of the time. This is a Very Good Plus copy of the First Edition.Brown cloth binding (it was originally purple, a colour popular at the time which did not take the sun particularly well), blindstamped, with gilt lettering on the spine. Clean text; 356 pages, very bright and fresh for its age. This copy lacks the publisher's adverts in the rear. Mild rubbing and bumping. The gilt lettering on the spine is still bright. A very solid copy, the best we have seen, and of great historical interest. In an archival plastic protector.. First Edition.. Hard Cover. Very Good Plus. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
