THE EXPEDITIONS OF ZEBULON MONTGOMERY PIKE, To Headwaters of the Mississippi River, (3 vols)

New York: FRANCIS HARPER, 1895. First Edition. Hardcover. octavo, ca. 6.5" x 9.5", 3 volumes uniformly bound in dark green cloth covered boards with very little wear and soiling x-library set but no external marks or numbers, inside in each of the 3 vols. is a library bookplate at the front and blindstamped name on title page and 4 digit number in blue ink on dedication page or another page near the front of the volume. Contents very good or better, except that paper is more brown around edges than might be considered normal, page edges uncut, a few pages are unopened (clearly not a heavily used set) pp. cxiii,356 for V. 1, vi, 357-855 for vol. 2, [1], 857- 955, no other names or book plates inside. Vol. 3 is mainly the index and has one map bound in at the front and 6 folded maps in the pocket at the back. The 6 maps are age darkened- generally unevenly - depending on which sides were exposed most to the book binding, but they are in very good condition otherwise- some have small holes at corners of folds, but no significant loss of information. Overall, a very good or better copy, but, x-library. Shipping outside the USA will cost more than that of an average book. Very good +. Item #17038
