Garden City: Doubleday, Doran & Co., 1937. Book. Illus. by endpaper maps and volume 2 frontispiece of Major Robert Rogers . Fine. Cloth. Signed by Author(s). 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. The two volume special edition, preceeding the first trade edition, signed and numbered, this copy 890 of 1050. This copy appears unread, as some of the pages are uncut. Pristine inside and out, bright gilt titles on the spines and no edgewear. No prior owner marks. The dust jackets are near fine, a bit darkened on the spines. The original protective box is very good plus, with some edge wear but the paper labels on the sides undamaged. Volume two has historical documents not found in the trade edition, including commentary of Major Rogeers' jouranl, and a record of his Court Martial. Still a fine historical novel..
