Description: Historical collections of the State of Pennsylvania, Sherman Day, 1843. Over 180 years old! As you can see, the front board is close to being detached and would need to be repaired. Corners are heavily bumped, and spine has issues, but is not loose. The rear board is in similar shape. Priced such that repairs can be made to this terrific history book. Especially interesting if you are from Pennsylvania! See photos please Of note, here is the biography of the original owner of the book and was passed down to someone else in his family. Signed in 1844 by John H Brodhead, an important person of his time in PA. Also signed by his daughter.
