WITH THE PLATE (KENTUCKY.) Marshall, Humphrey. The History of Kentucky... Vol 1 [all published]. With the scarce engraved plate of Indians attacking settlers. 8vo, contemporary calf, very worn, front cover coming loose; lacks the front free endpaper, rear endpaper torn, foxing throughout, plate defective (torn in half and stitched back together); early owners's inscriptions on the title and front pastedown. Frankfort, KY, 1812
- Notes: first edition. Only one copy has come to auction since the Streeter copy, which brought $900 in 1967 (lacking the plate). The plate is not called for by any of the bibliographies and is generally found lacking in institutional copies. "Most valuable early Kentucky history, with the fullest treatments of border wars and massacres"--Howes M313; Sabin 44779; Streeter Sale III:1647.
