This is a wonderful old book about the Revolutionary War in Colonial America. The book is primarily abut Ethan Allen, however history is spread throughout the volume. This signed book was published in 1902 by M.A. Donohue & Co., Chicago. The book measures 5 ½ inches by 7 ¾ inches and contains 281 pages. The red cloth cover has lovely embossed pictorial of a revolutionary soldier. The title is in gilt on the spine. The cover shows signs of light soiling. The cover shows minor signs of wear to the edges, corners and to the top and bottom of the spine. The spine is tight and the hinges are strong. The pages show no signs of rips or foxing. Exceptions noted, the overall condition of this lovely old book is very good plus.

Note: The illustrations are printed on unnumbered pages. It appears that whoever made this list did not realize this. The List of Illustrations does not point to the correct page numbers. Rest assured, all of the illustrations are in the book the discrepancy appears to be a manufacturing error.
