183324226London: Frederick Westley and A.H. Davis 1833. First edition 8vo 2 volumes pp. xxxii 316; vii 1 387; slightly later half calf over marbled boards red morocco labels on spines; rebacked with old spines laid down; good and sound. Colton 1789-1857 who gave up his ministry because of the failure of his voice went to England in 1831 as a correspondent for the New York Observer. Unlike his earlier religious works which are of little value "his descriptive narratives of travel are of much real value" see DAB. Field 345: "Mr. Colton seems to have been imbued with the laudable design of affording such information regarding the Indians he visited as would not only excite the interest of his readers in his narration of incident but would arouse the sympathy of the humane to their wretched condition. Almost the entire work is devoted to the relation of Indian affairs. More than half of the first volume is occupied with personal observations of Aboriginal life and statements made to him regarding it. The second volume is entirely filled with a collection of facts relating to their origin wars treaties treatment by the governments of Great Britain and the United States and the result of missions among them."

190041451n. p.: Blanche Budding Flora 1900. 1st printing presumed. Buff printed paper. Modest wear to broadside age-toning some light soiling and edgewear. Withal a VG example. Broadside printed recto only. 14-5/8" x 5-1/4" <br/><br/>A relative of the Buddings said this was handed out at Reunion Meetings and is apparently a true story. Union troops on scout are asked by a Tennessee Confederate farmer to help him extricate a stuck wagon and promises them some Apple Jack in return. Unfortunately for the Union troops the story is a ruse and the "Yanks" are captured by 20 Confederates. While marching one member of the 45th chews on soap foams at the mouth and plays dead. They march on only to get freed by 50 Union troops. The original group goes back to the farmer to get the Apple Jack and tie up the farmer and take all of his provisions. <br /> <br />"The Johnnies took a look at him and then one sed/ That thar Mr Yankee is clean gone dead/ The Captain he examined him sed to one of his men/ He's the ugliest corpse I seed in my life/ and we can't stop long to tend/ to any kind of a burying for he's drawed up like a toad/ Gist roll him in the bushes on the lower side of the road. I kind of smiled to myself but did'nt say nothing but thunk/ I looked at Jim and he looked at me and gave his one eye a wunk." <br /> <br />Only 1 institutional holding located on OCLC Yale.
