Faintest of edgewear; bit of jacket edgewear with several miniscule edge chips at head and tail of spine. A tight attractive first edition of this New York writer's tale of relocating to the family farm in Chillicothe Ohio -- where by the way he spent the rest of his life. Fine autograph addition: Tipped to the front flyleaf is an Autograph Note Signed from Smart 1p heavy stock 5½" X 3¼ postal card cancelled in Chillicothe OH 29 April 1938. Addressed to Arnold F. Gates 1914-96 noted Lincoln and Civil War scholar. Near fine. Cordial note boldly penned in blue fountain pen thanking an admirer "for your nice letter" -- and Gates being from Cleveland it was no doubt the Ohio focus that prompted the future Lincolnist to write the bestselling author -- though Gates did the opposite of Smart and went from his native Ohio to New York City! Smart 1902-67 authored almost a dozen books but this classic tale of a transplanted New Yorker was a bestseller and is his best-known work. W.W. Norton & Co hardcover

St. Paul: E.S. Goodrich territorial printer Pioneer & Democrat Office 1857. Offered with: Debates and Proceedings of the Constitutional Convention for the Territory of Minnesota to form a state constitution preparatory to its admission into the union as a state by T.F. Andrews official reporter to the convention St. Paul: G.W. Moore printer 1858. Together 2 volumes 8vo later sheep red morocco labels; Martin Minnesota Imprints 139 & 194. Debates and proceedings of the Republican and Democratic wings of the convention to make Minnesota's state constitution. A tempestuous battle had ensued over which party would control the convention as that party would dictate the provisions of the constitution and so arrange the formation of congressional and legislative districts that Senators and Representatives in Congress would be of that party's faith. The political control of Congress might depend on the outcome in the new state of Minnesota and so the whole country became interested in the election of delegates to Minnesota's Constitutional Convention. Agreement between the parties could not be reached and thus two separate conventions were convened. "The two conventions met daily. Their proceedings were uniformly orderly dignified and most interesting. Various important measures far reaching and influential in their character and nature were proposed in each convention and some of them adopted. In a few weeks after the rival conventions assembled the better judgement sound sense and devotion to the interests of the people among the members generally asserted themselves." Private conferences were held and at last Democratic leaders conferred with leading Republicans and on the 28th of August 1857 agreement was reached upon the entire draft of the constitution the printed version of which appears at the back of each volume and in the case of the Democratic Proceedings may be the earliest appearance of the constitution in print see Minnesota in Three Centuries 1908 III 42-48. <br/><br/> E.S.
