(BIRD, Robert Montgomery).
Nick of the Woods, Or The Jibbenainosay. A Tale of Kentucky.
Philadelphia: Carey, Lea & Blanchard, 1837. In two volumes. First edition, binding variant.
Tall 12mo., orig. green cloth, printed paper spine labels, 240; 246pp. Lacking the front free e/paper in volume two, some light foxing throughout, printed spine label mostly chipped away on volume two, and quite darkened on volume one; cloth is somewhat rubbed but not worn, this is a better than good but not quite very good copy; scarce in original cloth.
This is "one of the most important novels of the American frontier." "In the character of Bloody Nathan, the Quaker who takes his revenge upon the Indians for the murder of his family, Bird created a striking figure and his picture of the Indians, drawn without the idealization of Cooper, but rather as cruel, savage and treacherous, was based, at least, upon personal observations." (DAB).
