A propos de cet article

VOLUME I ONLY of a two volume set. i-xxiv, 25-304 pages. Hardcover: H 17.75cm x L 11cm. Contemporary full leather; some scuffs and peeling to boards with corners worn; spine ends chipped with quire tips visible at head; spine's gilt lettered brown title label intact with gilt "I" stamped below spine center; long slender splitting to front joint but binding cords remain firm with slight pliability to board. Book now presented in a trimmed clear Dura-Lar (polyester film) sheet forming a dj and modestly enhancing shelf appearance. Old ink writing (signature?|price paid) on front pastedown along with youthful-looking two-line pencil inscription "Archer | Anchuca" near center; pencil signature "Abram Barnes" at title page's top right. Missing front free endpaper and perhaps a flyleaf; first leaf present is half-title (i.e. pages i-ii); tonal quality difference between rear pastedown and opposing leaf suggests that the rear free endpaper is missing too; obtrusive toning to leaves throughout indicative of an extended southern provenance. Binding is firm. Volume I regards Harriott's experiences in Europe etc. with the missing second volume primarily concerned with his American travels. The book was published contemporary to the life of Richard Thompson Archer (1797-1867), an Amelia County, Virginia-born physician who moved to Claiborne County, Mississippi, and circa 1835 built his no longer extant family home Anchuca (aka Anchuka, a Choctaw word meaning "happy home") located approximately 2.5 miles south of Port Gibson. The aforementioned title page signature is presumably eldest surviving son Abram Barnes Archer (1836-1913) who served in various Mississippi cavalry regiments including Magruder's Partisan Rangers during the Civil War with a postwar career managing family plantations in Holmes County, Mississippi. There is an antebellum Greek Revival mansion also named Anchuca in Vicksburg, Mississippi but with no connection to the Archer family. Although with no markings indicative of such, this book was acquired from the estate of Vicksburg attorney Lucius Bryan Dabney Sr., 1893-1967, whose insightful, ardent, and voluminous accumulation of Mississippi Valley-related books and papers from innumerable family estates in southwest Mississippi is preserved as the Natchez Trace Collection at the University of Texas at Austin.…
