This historical book is 136 years old and is in need of rescue. It is in poor shape. The binding has split in two and the book lays flat when open. Several pages have come loose as well as the first few pages of the book. There is significant foxing throughout the book on many pages. Some pages have tattering along the edges. The spine wrap fabric is loosening, the mull is showing to the front and back hinges. There is a very old handwritten name in pencil to the front-end paper, as well as a stamp that says Durango Colorado. This book needs the right person who does not mind its poor condition to save it!
