First Thus. "Reprinted with additions;" originally published Ottumwa, Iowa, 1898. Small octavo. Red publisher's cloth gilt; 97pp. A tight, sound copy. Front endpaper has two square sections excised, presumably to remove an earlier owner's name; old tape adhesions and three laid-down clipped obituaries to front pastedown and vers…o of title page; textually clean and well-preserved; Very Good. A brief account of the Byrams' 1779 captivity among the Seneca Indians in western Pennsylvania, followed by a substantial genealogical history of the Byrams and their descendants. This edition, published more than a half-century after the original, updates the genealogical tables through the first four decades of the 20th century. Republished without attribution, presumably by a Byram descendant. All editions are highly uncommon; of the present edition, OCLC notes only two locations.
