A propos de cet article

State Historical Society of Iowa, Iowa City, IA. 1938. Hardcover. First Edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked but for a F/O name and date of June 19, 1948 on page 5 and a color lithograph of Black Hawk affixed to the front pastedown; this matches the engraved lithograph frontispiece of Black Hawk. Book Condition: Very Good; shelfwear to head, tail, and lower tips; mottling top and bottom of rear board from moisture exposure. No DJ. Red ribbed cloth boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine and front board with Iowa Historical Society Seal on the front board. Frontispiece engraving with captioned tissue guard. Deckled fore edge and textblock bottom; red tinted textblock top. 312 pp tall 8vo. This book is divided up into three segments: The Mississippi Frontier, The Black Hawk War, and The Sac and Fox Frontier in Iowa. The author has written a book on Black Hawk which places the life and character of that illustrious Indian in proper perspective as a chapter in the tragic story of the Red Man in America who in 1838 died in the Territory which had been created by Congress six years after the Black Hawk War (Iowa). A clean very presentable copy.
