Ramsey Published: Walker and James, Charleston, SC, 1853. 744 pp. Original brown cloth, stamped in blind, spine gilt. Rather poor condition. Front board is detached and top of spine cover is starting to detach. Foxing throughout. Lacking most of the foldout frontis map. Lengthy history of the state with a good deal of material on the South, Indians of the area, etc., much of the information collected by the author from frontiersmen and old soldiers, both in writing and orally. "[Ramsey's] history is something more and better than the ordinary compilations. It is a mass of minute narrative material relating to the Indians, the border wars, and the principal pioneers, molded into a consecutive and regular story, his work is almost wholly original, and contains a vast amount of aboriginal history never before printed" - Field. HOWES R43. SABIN 67729. FIELD 1261. DECKER 35:571. I've done my best to describe the book, but if you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail.
