1871Best.-Nr. 57834New York. 1871. One of 100 Copies The greatly expanded posthumously-published second edition of Buckingham Smith's translation of Cabeça de Vaca from an edition limited to 100 copies. The original text describes the first recorded journey by Europeans across North America recounting the author's adventures with the Narvaez expedition to Florida in 1527 his capture and escape from natives on the Mississippi coast and his later overland journey across Texas before finally making his way back to Spanish controlled lands in Mexico. The original work was the first on Texas and the first American travel account. This edition is greatly expanded from the original which was also published in a limited edition of 100 copies of 1851 and includes nearly one hundred pages of Smith's notes and additions. Buckingham Smith was an eminent scholar of Spanish America as well as a slaveholder who nonetheless sided with the Union during the Civil War. After his death he dedicated his estate to the establishment of the Buckingham Smith Benevolent Association an organization which was dedicated to supporting African Americans in St. Augustine and which continues to carry out that mission today. "The sudden death of the talented translator occurring while these sheets were passing through the press filled the hearts of many bibliophiles with sadness" - Field. This copy bears the bookplate of "Mrs. John V. L. Pruyn" i.e. Anna Fenn Parker on the front pastedown. John Pruyn was a businessman from Albany who represented New York as a pro-Union Democrat in the House from 1863-1865 and again from 1867-1869. He also laid the first stone in the New York State Capitol and was Chancellor of the Board of Regents for the University of the State of New York from 1862 to 1877. Anna Fenn Parker 1840-1909 was his second wife and the daughter of the prominent upstate New York lawyer judge and congressman Amasa J. Parker. Large octavo. Contemporary brown cloth printed paper label expertly rebacked with most of original backstrip laid down. Paper label chipped with about half missing; corners neatly repaired. Offsetting from the frontispiece onto the titlepage a bit of light tanning toward the front. Bookplate of Mrs. John V.L. Pruyn on front pastedown see below. Very good. Untrimmed. In a green cloth clamshell case printed paper label. FIELD 229. SABIN 9771 note. hardcover
