Chicago: The Lakeside Press, 1917. First thus. Near fine in green cloth covered boards with gilt text on the spine, a gilt top edge to the text block and gilt borders and publisher's logo on the front board. The gilt on the spine remains quite bright and free of tarnish. There is only a hint of rubbing to the cloth at the head and heel of the spine. The Lakeside Classic release of 1917 edited by Milo Milton Quaife. With a tipped-in fold-out map after page 66 of the area which is now the state of Ohio. That map is in perfect condition. The second free end page is signed "With the complements of Thomas E. Donnelley". 188 pages with index, text, map and a frontispiece illustration of Fort Washington. A very handsome, clean and tight copy without any prior ownership markings. (Inventory #: TB33535)
