This hardback book, with its original dust jacket is in acceptable condition.  The dust jacket, however, is tattered and had been taped in places, with some missing pieces.  There's a plate of a former owner on the inside front cover.  The inside covers have some light yellowing along the edges.  There's a color picture taped on the inside back cover and a small picture of a fish on the reverse side.  The book is 8.5" by 10.75" with 282 pages, color & black/white photographs, illustrations, maps and is indexed.

Per the preface, the history of this rugged little state has a memorable individuality.  In the era of the Anglo American Wars with the French, this wilderness country between the two disputants was left almost untracked.  When Canada was conquered, it became a tempting pioneer area adn waves of settlement poured in.  It took nearly a generation to establish their independence as a new state.
