She mentions things like: Negroes as slaves, superstitions, Kentucky, Missouri, spiritualism, whisky, husbands, jail, prohibition, mothers, Washington D.C., assault, liquor, Oklahoma, Texas, Masonry, poetry.
Very Good- condition. Dark Blue cloth covers over boards. Design impression on front, Gold gilt lettering on front and spine. Gilt on spine is faded. Some rubbing mostly to edges, corners, and Spine. Front and back have a couple lightly soiled spots, but overall look nice. End papers are a green floral & check design. The front end papers have a wrinkle at the top, a small stain at the bottom, and a white sticker that someone tried to pull off and I believe it took a bit of the design with it. The text is clean and there are some black & white illustrations. The binding is good, but not tight. Page 147/148 sticks out a tiny bit from the rest of the closed book pages.
Please use photos as part of the description. Sorry, the covers did not photo well - they have a tiny horizontal lines texture that reflected the light in odd patterns.
