to the promotion of [Hugh] Brady to Major General and comments on the 
defense of the border in Michigan. In part: "Before the army was ready 
the Federal Government was obliged to take other measures for the 
defence of the border. Small bodies of rangers were raised from among 
the frontier militia, being paid, at the usual rate for soldiers in the 
army, a net sum of about two dollars a month while in service." Light, 
even sunning to spines; occasional scratch or rub, mostly on the rear 
covers with a small piece of leather, smaller than a dime, gouged out of 
the rear of the first volume. Still Near Fine and quite uncommon and
