About This Item
Chicago: Pioneer Publishing Company, 1915. First edition. Hardcover. Good. Hardbound with leather spine and tips, green boards. No jacket as issued. Volume 1 only of a 2 volume history. Leather heavily rubbed at the corners and joints and worn through to boards at the bottom corners. Long narrow scuff across the front board visible in the photo. Marbled text edges and endpapers. Hinges are solid, but some looseness at the gatherings near the center and final section. All pages intact and still bound in. Previous owner's sticker to the front pastedown, otherwise an unmarked copy. 328 pp., some black and white photo plates. A fascinating local history with chapters on aboriginal inhabitants, public buildings, township histories and church histories. Scarce in its original format.
