Description

First-hand account by Bidwell, 'Pioneer of '41', originally published as magazine series some 50 years after the events described. Attractively presented in this edition with two-colour title page and chapter headings. Ex-library stock, with stamps to front pastedown and title page, but clearly never issued as most pages remain uncut. Printed paper-covered boards a little worn and toned to edges, with dark pink cloth with gilt titling to spine. Rems of library label to spine. 8vo. vii, 111pp
