THE PRAIRIE-BIRD.
Murray, Charles A.:
London: Richard Bentley, 1844. Three volumes. Later three quarter polished maroon calf and marbled boards, black gilt morocco labels. Minor wear and rubbing to covers. Old library label on front pastedown. Internally clean. Very good. This copy with the gilt maroon morocco bookplate of noted Americana collector Frank Cutter Deering on the front pastedown of each volume. Although a fictionalized romance, the scenes and episodes of this novel are based on the author's experiences in the West in 1835, a trip which resulted in his TRAVELS IN NORTH AMERICA. A quintessential English romantic view of the West. WAGNER-CAMP 112:1. GRAFF 2939. SABIN 51489.
