1864 The American Boy's Book

1864 The American Boy's Book

The first and only copy we have ever seen of this astounding, lushly illustrated hardcover volume covering points of interest of boys ranging from games to fishing to pets to carpentry to kites. Most exciting are the full eleven pages dedicated to "Base-Ball," which go into great detail on the rules and strategies of this new sport. Ranged about the book are several full-color pages, speaking to the tremendous quality of the piece. Hours and hours of interest here; a true family heirloom. There is one of the most amazing full colored lithographs of an early baseball game.
