Phillips, Salina, Kansas" (see below) on the front pastedown. Brown cloth blindstamped with spine titled in gilt. Illustrated with a frontispiece and 12 plates, continuously paginated.

William Addison Phillips' copy, with his bookplate on the front pastedown. Phillips was born in Scotland and immigrated with his family to the U.S. in 1838. After passing the bar in 1855, Phillips began practicing law in Lawrence, Kansas, also working as a correspondent for the *New York Tribune*. He was first justice of the Kansas Supreme Court, and led the founding of Salina, Kansas in 1858. During the Civil War, he served as commander of the Cherokee Indian Regiment, served as prosecuting attorney of Cherokee County in 1865, was elected as a Republican to Congress; after leaving Congress, he served as attorney for the Cherokee at Washington, D.C. The author, James P. Beckwourth, was born into slavery in Frederick County, Virginia; his father was of Irish nobility and his mother was an enslaved woman of mixed heritage. Beckwourth was freed from slavery by his father, traveled to Wyoming on a supply expedition, worked with fur trappers, and was eventually adopted by Crow chief Big Bowl through deceitful means. He became a Crow chief, fathered several families with several wives, and eventually left the tribe to pursue various adventures; he died in Denver, Colorado Territory, in 1866 or 1867. *Wagner-Camp* 272; *Graff* 347; *Howes* B601.
