About This Item
Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, 1903. 2 Volumes: 8.875" X 6.125" in dark blue cloth. Gilt lettering on covers has dulled somewhat, but still quite legible; lettering on spines has faded to the point that it is difficult to make out. Both volumes have a strip about 1" high cut across the width of the flyleaves. Old Brentano's sticker. 256/374pp. Illustrated. These books are heavy for their size. [2XBD079]. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket.
Synopsis
This is Volume 1 (I haven't seen Volume 2 online yet). Fiske tells a delightful and informative series of stories and provides authoritative historical framework, for the development of New York. Volume 1 deals almost entirely with Dutch lore. Highly recommended for anyone with interest in New York.
