About This Item
St. Paul: The Minnesota Historical Society, 1934 WYSIWYG pricing--no added shipping charge for standard shipping within USA. Brown cloth, gold titles on spine, xi, 327 pp, 4 ff b & w photo plates, fold-out facsimiles of The St. Cloud Visiter and The St. Cloud Democrat. Spine faded, else fine. Founder and editor of the two papers mentioned, Mrs. Swisshelm was both a feminist and an anti-slavery crusader. The Democrat was really just the Visiter under a new name, and an ironic one at that. This was of a piece with the editor's sarcastic and ironic style when dealing with her political enemies. From the preface by Theodore C. Blegen: "Interesting as is the author's portrayal of her own mind, the primary historical value of the letters lies in their picture of the times--the descriptions of places, the characterizations of people, the accounts of frontier travel, the comments on pioneer journalism, the reflections of public opinion, and the echoing of current, sometimes baseless, gossip." Shipping weight 2 lbs. (International 1 lb., 12 oz.). . VG+/No dj. 20½ X 13½ cm.

You can place credit card orders through Biblio, or we will ship upon receipt of payment by check or money order. Sales tax is collected by Biblio and remitted directly to your state, where applicable. SHIPPING IN UNITED STATES: Books are priced postpaid, so there are no additional shipping charges for standard shipping. We will ship via Priority Mail for $12.00 per order (Save on multiple-book orders!). This may be reduced if actual postage is less than for a medium flat-rate box. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: In most cases, shipping via Biblio's consolidated shipping program via Asendia is the cheapest option on orders up to 5 lbs. International shipping rates are complex (cost depends upon weight and destination), so please feel free to email us for a quote before you order. If the actual cost of shipping is more than the automatically quoted rate, you must approve the additional charges before the order will be shipped. Shipping charges will be reduced if shipping weight is under 3 lbs. All shipping charges (except via Asendia) include 17% to cover Biblio fees and commissions that apply to these charges. LIBRARIES: We offer flexible terms to public and university libraries.
