Dust Jacket is in Very Good condition with some edge chipping primarily at the top and bottom of the outside spine. Dust Jacket has two small tears to the top edge of the back cover. Dust Jacket is price clipped and is now covered by a new clear mylar cover This in NOT an Ex-library book, but has come from a private collection. Landmark Books and World Landmark Books are accurate, in-depth stories for young people in the 9-15 year old range. These living histories were written by award-winning authors or by men and women who experienced the events first hand. Written during the 1950's and 1960's and illustrated either with two-color drawings or clear photographs, the books are informative, enjoyable, and well worth reading and collecting. The story of The First Overland Mail moves at a breathless pace with all the drama and excitement of the early West.
