Boston:, Roberts Bros.,, 1878., First Edition, Hardback 24mo, about five inches tall. Brown cloth stamped in gilt and decorated in blind. 414 pages plus 4 pages of ads (therefore BAL 10434, first state). Portions of the book on California (including a lengthy section on Yosemite) and New England. But fully half the book concerns Colorado with plenty of commentary on the scenery and the people. Wynar, 2125. Covers modestly edge worn with tips barely worn through to boards. Spine ends a little frayed with very slight loss of material. Inside soundly bound with christmas gift note from 1878 in pencil on the first blank. A few pages with a small stain at upper corner. A bit of a lean to the spine, and some gatherings a little uneven at the foredge but all soundly attached. Very good.
