About this Item

Five volumes in light brown sheep, scuffed and edge-worn yet with good joints (no cracks) and all tightly bound. Eaxh 9 x 5 3/4 inches with a red leather spine title label and a small paper number label, that of vol. i. is partly missing (see pics).

The process of removing Indians to the west of the Mississippi was in its early stages. American history is at your fingertips with this amazing set.
