About this Item

Fair: because the spine backstrip is half gone, leaving only the title at the center half, and that precariously attached; but fairly easily repairable; the rest of the book is very good; solid, hinges tight, clean endpapers, "Blanche from Clara" penned on flyleaf, no other marks. Twain's daughter Clara? Her signature is usually elaborate, but there are distinct similarities. Hardcover, 3/4 leather on black-and-white mottled boards, 7 3/4 in. tall, 129 pp., with 6 photo plates and frontispiece. Includes a description of Beecher's Last Days; Funeral Services; statements from other clergymen; from the press; Beecher is mentioned in Mark Twain's autobiography as presiding at the Clemens wedding. Includes a description of Beecher's Last Days; Funeral Services; statements from other clergymen; from the press and a brief genealogy.

Beecher's siblings included Henry Ward Beecher and Harriet B. Stowe I believe this book is genuinely rare (a word I scarcely ever use): No copies in WorldCat listings of libraries worldwide.
