This is a rare and interesting book relating to the western frontier of the early nineteenth century-- Isaac Reed was born in Granville, NY in 1787, and after trying teach and the law, he turned to ministry. Reed went West in 1816 and and preached on a circuit in Kentucky before removing to Indiana. He traveled throughout southern Indiana and was in charge of churches in Indianapolis and Bloomington. The rear joint is partially split, but still holding well. There is some old staining to the title page and scattered foxing elsewhere. This book is bound in the original publisher's leather spine (rear joint starting) and paper covered boards. It is contained in a new green cloth tray case with a leather spine label. The last leaf is unpaged and contains errata information. Ref: Howes R126 (b), Buck, Banta, Indiana Authors, not in Sabin.

Reed was a Presbyterian minister in Indiana, but his labors occasionally took him into eastern Illinois."--Buck. Not in Sabin ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 242 pages.…
