Tight and nice first edition of this address by the attorney, anti-slavery advocate and friend of Lincoln (1796-1867) and president of the Chicago Historical Society who should know well whereof he spoke -- he entered Illinois in 1818 less than one month after it achieved statehood! Very uncommon.
Price: $55.00
