Note:
1st edition with ads for "the Olive Branch." The map of the United States is from Carey's Juvenile Atlas and the Universal School Atlas, with the author's route drawn in. The English Prairie map was done only for this book, I believe, and does not appear elsewhere. The original boards are bound into this later binding.
