ARCHER BUTLER HULBERT

Publication: GP Putnam's Sons, 1908, New York and London

First edition. 8vo. Inscribed to " Chas. A. Dana Esq., With the sincere compliments of the scribbler and in token of his high esteem. Archer Butler Hulbert, Xmas 1908, Marietta, Ohio." Blue cloth, picture affixed to front cover, gold stamping on front cover and spine, xiii, [1], 319 [6] pp., teg, frontis., note, illustrated, maps, index. All of the best worth recording of the history that gives the river its name, as well as its commercial present and future. There is an extraordinary chapter which chronicles the achievements of the dare-devils of both sexes who for decades have been sweeping over the Falls in barrels and other receptacles, or who have gone dancing their dizzy way on ropes or wires stretched from shore to shore above the boiling, leaping water beneath them. A few minor spots of foxing to a few front and rear endpapers, else near fine copy.
