About This Item
Hartford: H. Huntington, 1844. Later printing. Hardcover. Very good. Octavo, 2 volumes in one. Four steel engravings and two hand-colored maps. Both maps are detached and laid-in, and there is a matching remnant for each map still bound into the book, so it's clear that the maps are original to this copy. Rebound to contemporary style in full dark brown goatskin with leather title label to spine. A significant early history of Texas, which was first published in 1837. All editions are scarce, particularly with the maps. See Howes N556 and Sabin 55319.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
