The Deerslayer, or The First War-Path

The true first printing was produced by the Philadelphia printer I. Ashmead and stereotyped by J. Fagan; per Spiller & Blackburn's descriptive bibliography, its copyright pages carry a parenthetical reference number that is absent from a later, similar-looking printing produced by T. V. and P. G. Collins, which runs about five-sixteenths of an inch taller and represents a subsequent printing rather than part of the original issue
