Very good in decorated red cloth covered boards with a gilt top edge to the text block and with light rubbing to the head and heel of the spine and with the cloth on the spine faded. The end sheets show some foxing due to a reaction with the glues used in binding. The gilt text stamping on the spine remains clear and bright. A Lakeside Classic release of 1940 with a fold-out map before the historical introductory page and a second map following the same. Edited by Milo Milton Quaife. A reprinting of the journal Thomas Vercheres de Boucherville and a journal by James Foster titled: The Capitulation which deals with the War of 1812. The fold-out map preceding the historical introduction by Quaife is in perfect condition. Seller Inventory # TB27497

Hardcover. Edited by Milo Milton Quaife. 16mo. Burgundy cloth with gilt spine lettering, rules and decoration. xxvi, 347pp. Top edge gilt. Tissue-guarded frontispiece, 2 maps (one foldout). Fair only. Spine and portions of both boards sunned and mottled; endpapers age toned and a bit spotted, though text block tight and quite nice. To call this 38th volume in the annual "Lakeside Classics" series of Americana reprints "well loved" would be disingenuous and euphemistic. But despite the homely condition it bears a distinguished provenance, hailing from the collection of Illinois senator Adlai E. Stevenson III (1930-2021) and before him of his father, Illinois governor and twice Democratic presidential candidate Adlai E. Stevenson II (1900-65). R.R. Donnelley's Christmas keepsakes were produced for customers and employees beginning in 1903. This is the second time only that the journal of French fur trader/merchant/militia officer Vercheres (1784-1857) was published in English, the first being 1935. "The Capitulation" by unnamed author was first published in Chillicothe in 1812 and editor Quaife questions whether the "Ohio Volunteer" James Foster (named on book's spine and list of Lakeside titles) who some identify as the author is actually correct.
