"The frontier fills fascinating pages in the history and legends of the State of Ohio, [...] Duncan Falls has its own romantic past in the exploits of David Duncan, trapper, trader, and daring pioneer, who left a noteworthy mark on the westward course of the emerging nation. [...] It is the purpose of this narrative poem, and of the accompanying illustrations, to make more vivid and memorable 'The Legend of Duncan Falls.'" This first edition copy is signed by the author on the front loose endpage. Small water rings on front of dust jacket and some fading on spine. Illustrated by the author, there are beautifully detailed illustrations on every other page.
