Recollections of the Crimean Campaign and the Expedition to Kinburn in 1855

By: Vieth, Frederick Harris D.

Price: $25.00 USD

Publisher: Montreal, John Lovell & Son, Limited: 1913

Seller ID: 006367

Binding: Hard Cover

Condition: Good Plus to Very Good

Original brown cloth lettered in gold on boards. Ink spots on spine. Previous owner's name.

Nevertheless, both parts of the account have historical merit, and should be of worth to students of the Crimean War as well as to those interested in Nova Scotia's history. Hunters and fishermen should enjoy the last half especially. 309 pp.

No writing or damage, although endpapers are tanned. Presumed First Edition, since only one additional publisher was found (in the States) which is outnumbered about 5-1 as to number of copies located. 182 pp.
