Seller's Description:
Very Good Plus. No Jacket. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. Albion Tourgee (1838-1905), a major figure of the Reconstruction following the American Civil War, argued on the losing side of the notorious Supreme Court case "Plessy v. Ferguson." History now recognizes him to have been on the right side, morally. A Radical Republican, his popular novels were told with sympathy toward the African-American experience. Written in 1869, and published under a different title in 1874. This is a New Edition, intended to complete Tougee's series of novels about slavery, and adds the story "Zouri's Christmas." This is a Very Good copy of the First Edition Thus. Umber-colored decorative cloth binding, stamped and filled with black and gilt. Clean text; 529 pages with 4 pages of publisher's adverts in the rear. There is a contemporary gift inscription on the FFEP which, interestingly, is dated "1879"-two years prior to the printed publication date. There is also a modern previous-owner label on the front paste-down. Rubbed at the margins, but not badly, with bumped corners. A solid copy of an important work of post-Civil War literature. Size: 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall.
