The Deerslayer, or The First War-Path

James Fenimore Cooper · Lea & Blanchard (Philadelphia) · 1841

The 1845 Lea & Blanchard reprint, the 1849 Stringer & Townsend edition (printed from the original plates), and George Putnam's 1850 author-revised "Leather-Stocking" series edition all differ from the true first printing in binding and, in Putnam's case, in text; none reproduce the original purple cloth and paper labels.
