WITHERS, ALEXANDER S. Chronicles of Border Warfare. 12mo, contemporary calf, quite worn; dampstaining and browning. With the 4-page table of contents after the title and the publisher's ad in the rear. Clarksburg, VA, 1831
- Notes: first edition. Rarely found with the separately-printed table of contents. "Of this scarce book, very few copies are complete or in good condition. Having been issued in a remote corner of Northwestern Virginia, and designed principally for a local circulation, almost every copy was read by a country fire-side until scarcely legible. Most of the copies lack the table of contents. The author took great pains to be authentic, and his chronicles are considered by Western antiquarians, to form the best collection of frontier life and Indian warfare, that has been printed"--Field 1690; Howes W601; Streeter Sale 1107; Sabin 104928.
