Schenectad, 1826. 272pp. Dbd. Moderate to heavy foxing. Good. Second edition. It is difficult to separate truth from fiction in this narrative. The author, an Episcopal minister in Connecticut, claims to have been hounded and unjustly incarcerated, but there seems to be evidence to suggest he was a thorough scoundrel. SABIN 72608. AMERICAN IMPRINTS 25962. KAPLAN 4886. (Inventory #: WRCAM34217)
