Item description from seller

Minor edge and corner wear, lightly scuffed and scratched, corners are lightly bumped and rubbed, some shelf wear, front hinge is cracked, overall a nice used first edition! Very very rare and hard-to-find first edition! Black cloth with gilt lettering on the spine and front board. 152 very clean unmarked and uncreased historical pages of text and 35 wonderful pages (including the frontis) of historic black and white photographs and illustrations! Extremely scarce printing! "Six o'clock, Monday morning, October 17, 1859, was one of the most thrilling moments of my life. I was a boy at the time, learning the watch-maker's trade at Charlestown, Jefferson County, Virginia. At that hour, on that historic day, I was awakened by the long roll of drums and the strident notes of fifes calling 'Assembly!'." ----- from Chapter 1 (The Lecture).
