1835 RARE Southwest FRNOTIER Western Ingraham Americana Novel Mississippi 2v
The 19th century book 'The South-West,' is J.H. Ingraham's first historical novel of the American Southwest frontier. Despite being one of the most prolific writers of his time, Joseph Holt Ingraham has almost been forgotten in ours. Ingraham spent most of his life moving from one state to another, but he considered Mississippi his home. Ingraham published more than one hundred novels and another hundred contributions to magazines and journals. In 1835 Ingraham published his first book, 'The Southwest,' based on a series of letters that had been published by the Natchez Courier. The Southwest, a travel book, sought to booster the image of Ingraham's adopted region. Ingraham continued writing historical adventures, often set in the Old Southwest, and became the best-paid American novelist of the 1840s.
This two-volume first edition features a protective clamshell that both volumes fit comfortably in.

1852 Washington Irving SIGNED Knickerbocker History New York Darley Illustrated
"as far as I have observed, I am fully satisfied that man, if left to himself, would about as readily go right as wrong."
― Washington Irving, History of New York
"A History of New York" was Washington Irving's first attempt at satirical writing. He achieved it. His alter-ego, Diedrich Knickerbocker, narrates this history of New York, but fabricates facts and alters or ignores important information of the New World metropolis. The fictional story takes place in the 17th-century and concludes with New York (or New Amsterdam) falling to the British in 1664. It is because of the success of this work, and the ensuing popularity of Irving's pseudonym that Manhattan residents are called 'Knickerbockers'.
This 1852 edition includes impressive illustrations by Felix Darley.
