Genealogical Notes or Contributions to The Family History of Some of The First Settlers of Connecticut And Massachusetts

GENEALOGICAL NOTES OR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FAMILY HISTORY OF SOME OF THE FIRST SETTLERS OF CONNECTICUT AND MASSACHUSETTS, by “the late” Nathaniel Goodwin, hardcover with no dust jacket, first edition, 1856.

No bookplate nor signature of prior owner. The blue cloth boards are in very good condition. In fact, at some point the book was rebound because the binding is certainly not from 1856. The rear board is very slightly bowed lengthwise. The gilt lettering on the spine is still crisp). 8 ¾ x 5 ½, 362 pages, 20 ounces.
