Item description from seller

188pp. Quarto [29 cm] Rust colored cloth with the title gilt on the backstrip. Near fine. Lacks the glassine jacket. This edition was limited to 400 signed and numbered copies, this is copy 340. " The diary of the Reverend Alexander Taylor Rankin are of intense interest, for he was in eastern Kansas during the Jefferson Territory days. Dr. Rankin met the challenge of a stern duty as a missionary on the uncomfortable frontier and in the lawless settlements of the West. He was dedicated to religious service to the week, the sinful, and the outcast, where there was no law or order, where life in most cases was corrupt and vicious, and where nearly every man was his own law." - Foreword.
