About This Item
NY: Readex Microprint Corp. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. (1966), 12mo, iv, 198pp, faux leather. Little wear, else VG. See Howes 982 for the first edition. From the foreword: "For some, the West was the scene of disappointment and personal tragedy; for others it was a place of opportunity and promise. NEW HOMES IN THE WEST, written by Catherine Stewart and first published in 1843, is an extreme example of the latter point of view." The West in this case refers primarily to Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin, and secondarily to Tennessee and Missouri. or what we would refer to today as the midwest. Many of the author's commentaries are in the form of letters addressed to a friend in Buffalo, New York..
