Forty Years a Fur Trader on the Upper Missouri: The Personal Narrative of Charles Larpenteur (1898)
First edition, two volumes
Pub. Francis P. Harper (New York)
Numbered 522 from a limited edition of 950, said in a vintage note to have been made more scarce due to some of that edition being destroyed at bindery. Octavo size. Bound in blue cloth with gilt lettering on the spines, untrimmed edges. 18 illustrations including photographs and maps.
Altogether the five volumes measure 9 1/4" x 6 1/2" x 7".
All volumes are in very good condition, noting only mild wears to the covers and typical flattening to the untrimmed edges. All bindings remain tight, and there is no notable toning or foxing throughout the sheets. The four fold-outs are free of tears, only showing some mild acid burn from the back board pocket.
