About This Item
[Westernlore Press], [Los Angeles], 1959. Facsimile edition. 4to (12 1/4 x 9 1/4"). 120pp. Blind-stamped Black pebbled cloth with gilt title on front board and backstrip. Folding map frontispiece. "Route from Liverpool to Great Salt Lake Valley" is one of the most important publications devoted to the Mormon emigration. This original 1855 edition was produced by a young convert, Frederick Piercy, and Samuel Richards, who was then the president of the Liverpool Mission president. They envisioned a travel guide for English converts who wanted to make the trek to the Salt Lake Valley. Piercy was a gifted artist and engraver. He made a special trip to America in 1853 to make sketches for forty-five black and white plates that illustrate this volume, including views of New Orleans, Natchez, Vicksburg, Nauvoo, Council Bluffs, Laramie, Fort Bridger, and Scott's Bluff. This facsimile edition was produced by a Los Angeles publisher, but without indicia.
Condition: Very good; minor shelf wear, toning to front end papers.

About Armadillo & Dicker Books & Ephemera
80 Years of Selling Things People Could Easily Live Without -- but now Online only.*****CONDITION: We are conservative graders. If we say FINE you can count on it. If there are any minor defects [e.g. minor shelf-wear] they will be noted. VERY GOOD means there is light shelf or surface-wear, possibly some light age-toning, maybe a prior owner's inked name inside -- but no significant defects. GOOD means we wish we had a better copy too, but still in collectable condition. Any significant defects will be noted. FAIR usually means the interior is good or better but the covers are heavily worn. POOR means both the interior and the covers are damaged. Again, significant defects will be noted.
