(SLAVERY AND ABOLITION--RECONSTRUCTION.) THE PROPHET JAMES [JAMES SMITH BUCK.] The Chronicles of the Land of Columbus, Commonly called America. 1-112, [v], ii pp. 8vo, original cloth-backed (possibly re-backed) black sharkskin, lettered in gilt on the upper cover. Milwaukee: F. W. Stearns, 1876
A bizarre work, arranged in the manner of the New Testament, chronicling the build-up to and after the Civil War, wherein it becomes obvious that the author is not a fan of Lincoln. A literary curiosity. While OCLC lists numerous holdings, this is the first copy we have seen in commerce.
