Early Walla Walla Imprint: From New York to Portland, Oregon Via Straits of Magellan, with a History of the Voyage, Scenes, Places, Incidents and Notes of the Journey

first edition Sewn printed wraps

1879 · Walla Walla, W. T.

by McCONKEY, John Douglas (Rev. J. D. McConkey)
Walla Walla, W. T.: Statesman Book and Job Printing Office, 1879. First Edition. Sewn printed wraps. Very Good+. 12mo (book measures 4 1/4" wide X 5 3/8" tall). Total of 80 pp. printed in 8-point font. Original tan printed wrappers, a variant binding that contrasts with the pink or blue copies we've seen or handled. Faint dampstain to the top fore-edge corner of first five leaves, not affecting text. The book was trimmed off-kilter, with the fore-edge showing a slightly serrated surface. In all, an attractive copy. A surprisingly engaging account of a voyage by steamer (the Oregon), as indicated in the title, with little proselytizing by the good reverend. (truncated)
... cont’d.
