Quoting from the flap of the dust jacket: "The discovery of Francis Parkman's journals in a Boston attic where they had lain undisturbed for nearly fifty years was one of the most dramatic incidents in the annals of American scholarship.In vivid detail, the early journals narrate the hazardous wilderness journeys which gave him his first-hand knowledge of the scenes of his histories; which took him through the unexplored reaches of New England, into Canada, and out to the Great Lakes region; and which brought him fact to face with the Indians, pioneers, trappers and mountain men of the frontier West." These two hard cover books are bound in bright blue cloth boards with sharp gilt lettering of the titles on the spine. Each book is protected by a printed paper dust jacket. The endpapers are decorated with maps of his journeys thru the northeastern U.S. and Canada. Please see the photos of the Table of Contents and the List of Illustrations for your further information. Condition: These two books are in very good condition. The dust jacket are a bit dust dulled and show some toning, particularly around their edges. There is some edge wear including small tears and chips to both. The hard covers are clean and bright, particularly the spine where the gilt titles are still vivid. Inside, the books are unmarked and so too, the interior pages which are bright and clean throughout, without toning or foxing.

These books are not ex-library or remainders. Various (illustrator).…

From Wikipedia: "Francis Parkman, Jr. (September 16, 1823 November 8, 1893) was an American historian, best known as author of The Oregon Trail: Sketches of Prairie and Rocky-Mountain Life and his monumental seven-volume France and England in North America. These works are still valued as historical sources and as literature. He was also a leading horticulturist, briefly a Professor of Horticulture at Harvard University and author of several books on the topic. Parkman was a trustee of the Boston Athenæum from 1858 until his death in 1893. Parkman is one of the most notable nationalist historians. In recognition of his talent and accomplishments, the Society for American Historians annually awards the Francis Parkman Prize for the best book on American history. His work has been praised by historians who have published essays in new editions by such Pulitzer Prize winners as C. Vann Woodward, Allan Nevins, and Samuel Eliot Morison." Good. No dust jacket.
