Limited Edition. 120pp. Quarto [31.5 cm] 3/4 burgundy leather over red boards with the title gilt stamped on the backstrip. A.E.G. Matching slipcase. Prospectus laid in. This edition was limited to 1000 numbered copies, this is copy 591. Route from Liverpool to Great Salt Lake Valley contains Piercy's detailed narrative of the j…ourney as well as illustrations of an unusually high quality made from his own drawings sketched on the trail. In addition to these illustrations of prominent landmarks between Council Bluff and Salt Lake City, Piercy also made sketches of sites along the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Nauvoo including the Nauvoo Temple in ruin and Carthage jail. He also did five portrait sketches. This is a landmark work in American travel narratives and Mormon history. "Route from Liverpool ranks as the most beautiful book published by Latter-day Saints." - Peter Crawley.
