About This Item
Philadelphia: John C. Winston, 2873. Book. Illus. by frontispiece drawing of boys on ice, unusual colored illustration on front board. Very Good. Decorative Cloth. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. A lad cooking on a campfire in color on the front yellow board, titles on the front and unfaded spine in black. Inside, very clean and tight with no prior owner marks, no stains or browning. Endpaper illustrations of boy and girl in a canoe with an antique biplane overhead. No other date than the 1873 copyright, so not possible to know if this is later. Slight wear at the upper corner of the front board and spine ends. A rather scarce teen adventure story. Six pages publisher ads at rear, undated. .
