Octavo pp. 1-7 8-78 79-80: blank note: last leaf is a blank the illustrations uncredited in this edition are by Mitchell original pictorial dark blue cloth front panel stamped in black white and gold. First edition. Mitchell's third book preceded by a work of nonfiction and THE ROMANCE OF THE MOON 1886 a children's fantasy. THE LAST AMERICAN is a short clever inversion of the lost race tale just then gaining popularity the lost race in this case being the Mehrikan people. We see America through the eyes of an admiral in the Persian navy about 1100 years in the future as an exploring party wanders through the ruins of New York City and Washington D. C. where the detachment encounters and kills the three last Americans. Mitchell's point aside from amusement seems to be the danger of unrestricted immigration which he indicates was the basic cause of America's downfall in the late twentieth century. Ultimately American civilization is destroyed by a catastrophic change of climate and this satire is significant as being one of the earliest SF stories to utilize the catastrophe motif.
