[WESTERN AMERICANA]. FERRAL, S. A. A Ramble of Six Thousand Miles Through the United States of America. Londohn: Effingham Wilson, 1832. 8vo. With page of facsimile from the ?Cherokee Phoenix?. 360 pp. Bound in contemporary half brown diced Russia over cloth boards, boards stamped in blind (?American Library Co.?), spine ruled in blind and lettered in gilt, marbled endleaves (spine worn and torn, joints cracking, hinges cracking, text toned, soiled, ?Cherokee Phoenix? leaf loose, library bookplate on fp., library pocket on rfep., some pencil markings throughout, lacks final 14 pages of ads, otherwise complete). Good. FIRST EDITION. Ferrall wrote an entertaining and occasionally humorous record of his travels, not missing any opportunity to poke fun at Americans, from his snobbish British point of view. He is quite insulting in his treatment of African-Americans but is surprisingly sympathetic to the plight of Native Americans. Rare. Measurements: 8 x 6 x 1?.
