Loudon Indian Narratives Limited Edition 77 William Egle Arno Press

Acquire a significant piece of early American frontier history with this limited edition reprint of Archibald Loudon’s A Selection of Some of the Most Interesting Narratives of Outrages Committed by the Indians. This volume is a rare 1971 Arno Press First American Frontier series edition, hand-numbered 77 of only 100 copies. It features the facsimile signature of William H. Egle, M.D., the renowned Pennsylvania State Librarian and historian. This work is a cornerstone for researchers of colonial warfare and frontier survival. The book is a hardcover with the original Arno Press cloth binding. It is a seasoned, pre-owned vintage copy with specific condition notes regarding long-term storage. The interior text remains clean and the binding is tight. However, as shown in the photographs, there is heavy dust soiling and foxing (spotting) on the exterior page edges. The hardcover cloth also shows dust-dulling and light sun-fading on the spine consistent with sitting on a shelf for decades. This copy is priced to reflect these cosmetic age-related flaws while acknowledging its extreme rarity as a low-numbered limited edition. This item is sold as-is. Please review all photos for exact condition and measurements before purchase.
