"Gath's" Tales of the Chesapeake

New York: American News Company, 1880. 8vo. Very Good. Item #15421

A rare Signed Edition from the Civil War's most notable correspondent. A handsome compilation of stories of the Chesapeake region.

Signed and inscribed by Townsend on the front end paper in contemporary iron gall ink.

'Gath' was Townsend's pen name and the name under which he wrote most of his works. Signed copies of his books are quite rare.

Square tight binding. Clean interior, save for very small check marks in pencil to the table of contents.

White cloth covers with black embossed illustrated boards and gilt to spine. Scarce title in a 1st Edition format. Moderate rubbing and wear to binding.

Overall, a very desirable Maryland collectible.
