Sobre este artículo
Greensboro, N.C.: Piedmont Press, 1963. 401 pages, plus frontispiece and four leaves of plates. Original black cloth. [23.3 cm.] A near fine copy in very good dust jacket. Faint foxing to title page and a few other pages (due to contact with plates), still a nice copy. Jacket shows some light rubbing and two minuscule tears, with no loss. FIRST EDITION. WARM PRESENTATION INSCRIPTION SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, on the front free endpaper. TWO AUTOGRAPH LETTERS SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, laid-in. The inscription and both letters are addressed to Tempie Harris Prince, of High Rock Farm, Rockingham County, North Carolina, whose pictorial bookplate appears on the front pastedown. William Swaim was editor of the Greensboro "Patriot" from 1829-1835, where he promoted the manumission of slaves and various reforms. He was the maternal grandfather of William Sydney Porter, a.k.a. O'Henry.
