rare! circa 1852, 32 page illustrated pamphlet – ‘LIFE OF GENERAL SCOTT’

NOTICE

********NOW OPERATING FROM OUR NEW HEADQUARTERS ********



Now fully operational from the beautiful Pacific North West, we encourage all to keep a close eye as we unpack posted offerings and continue what will be an ongoing effort of unpacking the collection while taking stock with an eye toward thinning out our accumulation of treasures. After years of seeking out and acquiring all manner of quality antique Americana from simple but seldom surviving items of special interest to historically important treasures, Janet and I look forward to offering the fruits of our years of seeking out such to new and appreciative homes.

Disbound as issued with the addition of a period home stitched cover, this rarely encountered, uncopyrighted, 32 page pamphlet was published in 1852 as a highly illustrated summary of the life of General Winfield Scott. Unusual as it was never copyrighted and bears no attribution as to authorship, this document is condensed an abbreviated promotional version to include an advertisement at the foot of page 32 for Edward Mansfield’s THE LIFE OF GENERAL WINFIELD SCOTT. Remaining in pleasing original condition while offering good evidence of age and careful period handling, this scarce promotional addresses the General’s significant roles in the War of 1812, the Mexican American War, and the early years of the American Civil War. Buy with confidence! We are pleased to offer a no questions asked three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales! Just send us a courtesy e-mail to let us know your item will be returned per these provisions and your purchase price will be refunded accordingly. Thanks for visiting Gunsight Antiques!
