Item description from seller

Original wraps bound into a hardcover, 11 pages, frontis, top edge gilt, #14 of 250 copies, some wear to the cloth but wrappers and inside are about fine. Tilton, Assistant Surgeon General was stationed at Ft. Lyon Colorado and attended to Kit Carson during his last sickness and was with him when he died. John Abbott published his 1st edition of Christopher Carson in 1873. After it was published, Tilton wrote Abbott a 12 page letter providing information on Carson. In 1874, Abbott reprinted his book and added the letter by Tilton. Usher Burdick obtained the original letter and it was published in 1939 in an edition of 250 copies.
