363 p. + Engraved frontis portrait from an ambrotype by Brady. Foxed. 12mo. 19 cm. Original full cloth binding. Milburn was famous as 'the blind preacher' who had been six times Champlain of the Unite d States House of Representatives. His first book, 'Rifle, Axe, and Saddle-Bags' was an account of the trials of a minister's life in the unsettled wilderness. It was hugely popular. He was also the a uthor of 'Pioneers and People of the Mississippi Valley.' He claimed that he was first urged to write this auto-biography in 1854 by the historian Prescott, and curiously on the next day Longfellow ma de the same request.
