Putnam's Sons  1900.* First Edition.* Four large octavo (6-5/8" x 
10-1/8") volumes of the Daniel Boone Edition bound in original full 
green morocco with gilt floral devices in the corners and on the spines 
which are gilt-lettered with three raised bands; thick gilt-decorated 
morocco-bordered doublures with red suede centers and endpapers; top 
edge gilt. Illustrated with numerous plates and five folding maps. Copy 
#59 of only 200 copies with a leaf of Roosevelt's ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT of 
@140 words bound in at the beginning of the first volume. The manuscript 
refers to Native American "savages so treacherous and so ferocious ... 
they had suddenly attacked and massacred settlers by whom they had never 
been harmed and with whom they preserved an appearance of entire 
friendship up to the very moment of the assault. Then, their hands red 
with the blood of their murdered friends, they came boldly into 
Pittsburg." Light, even sunning to spines; occasional light scratch or 
rub neatly retouched.* Fine and quite scarce, especially in this 
condition.              $17,500.00
