CONDITION: This book is over 125 years old and is being sold in as-is antique condition. The exterior binding is in poor condition with heavy wear, rubbing, deterioration and significant separation at the spine/boards. Please see photos carefully.
The interior is considerably better preserved than the exterior, and the maps, illustrations and color plates shown retain excellent visual appeal for their age. Pages show expected age-related toning, spotting, staining and other wear. I have not performed a page-by-page collation and therefore cannot guarantee absolute completeness.
No modern repairs have been attempted. A fascinating surviving historical volume and an excellent piece for a Spanish-American War, military history, antique book, map or Americana collection.
1899 original — not a modern reproduction.
