1854 · Philadelphia
by Darnell, Elias
Philadelphia, 1854. 16mo. 98, [1], [1 blank], [8 publ. advts.] pp. Bound in modern leatherette, spine title label. Minor scattered foxing. Very Good.
This edition is the only printing cited by Field, Sabin, and Ayer. Howes says the first two printings-- 1813 and 1814-- are virtually unobtainable; Streeter's Sale offered the 1834 Philadelphia. The narratives are by Timothy Mallary and John Davenport, who were captured at the Battle of Raisin. The last text page is a poem entitled, 'The Battle of Raisin.'
Howes D73. Field 399. Ayer 57. II Streeter Sale 1081. (Inventory #: 16771)
