Item description from seller

Quarto. 194pp. First edition. Publisher's original brown cloth, faded and turned to black. Gilt upper cover monogram of the City of Boston, same monogram in blind on lower cover. Rebacked in cloth. With illustrations and plans. Presentation copy from Edward Everett to W. H. Bogart, dated 9 Nov, 1861. Most probably Wroth's copy. This item came from a large collection of bibliographical items belonging to Lawrence Wroth, along with items from A.N.L. Munby and Thomas Streeter's collections. William Henry Bogart (1810 in Albany, New York - 1888 in Aurora, Cayuga County, New York), was a lawyer, legislator, journalist, historian, and one of the first trustees of Wells College. In 1840, Mr. Bogart was elected to the New York State Assembly to represent Tompkins County; he served one term. Additionally he was a clerk for the New York State Senate. Mr. Bogart was a correspondent for New York Courier and Enquirer and the New York World newspapers, but he was also an historian and author. He is most well known for his book on Daniel Boone, Daniel Boone and the Hunters of Kentucky (1854) which Bogart wrote in an attempt to rescue Daniel Boone from becoming entirely myth and legend. Bogart also wrote poetry and books on more general American history (from Wikipedia). 0.…
