Item description from seller

Half cordovan leather over red pebbled boards; red marbled side and bottom page edges and glossy endpapers; ex-library with manila card-holder to rear and five-digit serial number stamped to top corner of FFE, RFE and second title page but otherwise free of library stampings. Attachment of the front board is fragile, reducing our grade from "good ex-library" to "fair." Although the SECOND title page here is the 1847 U.P. James Cincinnati title page (so dated to verso), the FIRST title page identifies this as Document No. 608 of the 2d Session of the 63rd Congress, presented by Mr. Stone on May 26, 1914, and reported by Mr. Chilton to the Committee on Printing October 21,1914, "Resolved, That the pamphlet submitted by Mr. Stone on May 26, 1914, entitled 'Doniphan's Expedition,'" etc., "be printed as a Senate document, with accompanying illustrations." 202 pp. This is NOT the longer account (with very similar title) of William Elsey Connelley, published by Bryant and Douglas Book and Stationery Co, Kansas City, Missouri, in 1907. That one includes a frontispiece photographic portrait and a folding map of Mexico and the Western Unites States. (No map, here.) Reduced from $62.
