Item description from seller

pp. vii, 259 (i.e. 255), followed by twelve unnumbered leaves of advertisements by the publisher and various local and national firms. Notable advertisements include The Manitoba Free Press, various local retailers, transport services for new emigrants via the Windsor and Lake Line Steamers, and a remarkable, historically significant advertisement for the sale of "Half-Breed Lands." Duodecimo [12mo.] (14 x 18.5 cm). Illustrated with various in-text illustrations, four engraved plates ["The Landing at Fort Garry on the Assiniboine", "Winnipeg Water Works", "Indian Graves", "View of St. Boniface from Winnipeg"], one folding map (of two) ["The Dawson Route and Proposed Water Connections with the Canada Pacific RR"], and a folding plan ["Plan of the City of Winnipeg, 1876"]; each crisp and without blemish. Regrettably, lacking the "Map of the Province of Manitoba and part of the district of Keewatin and North West Territory" which is normally affixed to the rear matter. Includes the noted printing error with pages 121-124 omitted from the sequence. Bound in publisher's original vibrant forest green cloth with sharp gilt-and-black lettering and ornamentation to the spine and front board; charming blind-stamped floral vignette to centre of rear board. Cloth extremities very lightly rubbed; slight fraying to the head of spine, heel bumped. A small period accession sticker is affixed to the base of the spine. Internally, the volume remains well-preserved, bears the lilac ex-libris plate of the Bowdoin College Library which is affixed to the front pastedown, small unobtrusive circular institutional blindstamp to the title leaf, charming period bookseller's manuscript description pasted to the the ffep. Text-block remains otherwise bright, clean and unmarked with firm, sound binding. Overall, very good. Provenance: A unique and historically significant association copy once belonging to the prominent American lawyer and land speculator, Cyrus Woodman (1814-1889). Woodman was a distinguished member of the Bowdoin College Class of 1836 and a lifelong benefactor of the institution. Bears Woodman’s bold signature and is specifically dated "1885" in his hand. This date is of enormous historical consequence for Manitoba and the young nation: 1885 would witness the tumultuous events of the North-West Resistance in Manitoba and modern-day Saskatchewan under the leadership of Métis leader Louis Riel. The present offering appears to have been returned to his alma mater, likely as part of his personal bequest, before being deaccessioned from the Bowdoin College Library archives. See Peel 780.
