The Minnesota Historical Society’s Reserve copy of the first (1863) edition of A Thrilling Narrative of Indian Captivity.

Those unaccustomed to University Press-produced books may wonder. But compared to a first edition that sold at auction in 2010 for $12,000, the 2012 edition is a great buy!

Of course, I hope you think it is a great read, too :).

Thank you to the 70 plus of you who shared the book release celebration with us Sunday afternoon! It was a lovely event and I owe you a recap as soon as I can find the photographer who took the Alan Woolworth photos. Hint, hint :).
