By: Aldrich, T. B.

Price: $38.00

Publisher: Boston, MA, Houghton, Mifflin and Company: 1883

Seller ID: 25999

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: Good+ with no Dust Jacket

Prologue: The reader will probably not find Ponkapog set down in any but the very latest gazetteer. It is the Indian name of a little New England village [in Massachusetts], from which the writer. Ponkapog scarcely merits a description, and Pesth [pronounced Pest, in Hungary]-- the farthest point east to which his wanderings led him.

Spine and top of green & gilt front board age-darkened. Front and rear gutters beginning to crac...
