12o (147 x 91 mm). Preliminary publisher's advertisement leaf and 4 leaves publisher's advertisements at end.

FIRST EDITION. The first part is a handbook on Kansas Territory, probably written before the discovery of gold. The second part comprises an appendix that also is directed to the settler and to preemption laws on public lands. The hand-colored dual map depicts "Kansas and Nebraska" and "Nebraska and Kanzas showing Pikes Peak and the Gold Region" and is in VERY FRESH CONDITION.

Many of the advertisements at end are for rail routes to the Pike's Peak gold region. "The authors were correspondents for eastern newspapers. Redpath, a rabid abolitionist, came to Kansas Territory soon after it was established. Hinton came in 1856 as a correspondent for the Boston Traveller (Dary Kanzana 74).
