Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Full Title: The Life and Heroic Exploits of Israel Putnam, Major General in the Revolutionary War. Published by Ezra Strong, New York, 1835. Good quality book now in a clear plastic cover. 5-5/8" x 4", 190 numbered pages. The heavily toned paper-covered front board has an engraving, reproduced on the page facing the title page, of "savages attempting to roast Major Putnam". Corners are rounded, The spine (is it leather?) is intact and holding everything together nicely. Paper is rather stiff but not brittle; the paper is lightly toned and has a noticeable waviness to it. Virtually all pages have some staining, though none affect the readability of the text; there are also several small penciled marginal notes/comments. In addition, there are some small slips of paper interspersed throughout with inked comments about the accuracy/truthfulness of the author--I will leave them in--they probably date back to a pre-Civil War time. There are engravings sprinkled throughout the text. There are no loose pages nor, as far as I can tell, any missing pages. The hinges are tight so that the book opens only about 135º, not a full 180º.

[Wikipedia] This is an account of his life written by a colonel who was himself a distinguished fighter in the American Revolutionary War, and was as well aide de camp to George Washington, and a secretary and intelligence agent to Benjamin Franklin in Paris. He was also American minister to Portugal and then to Spain. His tone in this biography is one of praise, and one clearly feels he was in awe of his superior; yet an account by one who truly lived the events with the subject of his work, and was an eyewitness to his deeds, will undoubtedly prove invaluable as a piece of American history and its heroes. ** Postage for oversized and international shipping will be calculated by size and weight.
