Forty Years a Fur Trader on the Upper Missouri: The Personal Narrative of Charles Larpenteur (1898)
First edition, two volumes
Pub. Francis P. Harper (New York)

Condition Report: All volumes are in very good condition, noting only mild wears to the covers and typical flattening to the untrimmed edges. All bindings remain tight, and there is no notable toning or foxing throughout the sheets. The four fold-outs are free of tears, only showing some mild acid burn from the back board pocket.
