Description:
Boston: Phillips, Sampson and Company, 1854. 8vo. 256 pp, 4 pp advertisements at end. Folding lithographed frontispiece map. Original brown embossed cloth, gilt-lettered on spine. A very good copy, spine slightly sunned, map with pale dampstain. FIRST EDITION of one of the earliest - if not the earliest - books on Kansas, considered the best book on the emigration occasioned by the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Hale gives an historical survey of Kansas, an account of the Indian tribes, and a detailed description of the soil, rivers, settlements, railroads, and projected cities in Kansas and Nebraska. Of particular interest is information on emigrant aid companies, emigration from the West (including of Chinese from California), the suitability and promise of the territory for emigrants and a significant discussion of the fugitive slave question, the Missouri Compromise, women's rights, suffrage, and the railroad. The "Map of Kanzas & Nebraska from the Original Surveys" (17x18.7 cm) has…

Boston: Phillips, Sampson and Company, 1854., 1854. First edition. First edition. 12mo. Original blind-stamped cloth with spine title and floral decoration in gold gilt, viii, 256 pp., plus 4 pages of advertisements, preface, fold-out map. Edward E. Hale was a clergyman and served for many years. Among his numerous books he is most remembered for THE MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY, published anonymously in the "Atlantic" magazine in 1863. He advises that the use of the "z" in the word "Kanzas" is preferred by him as the "z" sound is more accurate in pronouncing the state's name and the spelling with the "s" replacing the "z" is too "fashionable." An interesting and important history of the two territories before statehood. He discusses the discoverers of the regions, Indian tribes, rivers and valleys, military, trading and missionary posts, projected cities in Nebraska and Kansas, routes of travel, political history, and the Emigrant…
