Message:: [QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 839720, member: 8267"]The style of binding of the book you have shown is 1880s, not 1865. Without seeing the title page and copyright page, we cannot tell more about this particular version. The one sold at auction may have reached such a price because it was misidentified as a 1st. Abebooks has a few early editions (1860-1865) ranging from $40-$100.00.<a href="https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=Hartley&bi=0&bx=off&cm_sp=SearchF-_-Advtab1-_-Results&ds=30&recentlyadded=all&sortby=17&sts=t&tn=Life%20of%20Daniel%20Boone&yrh=1865&yrl=1860" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=Hartley&bi=0&bx=off&cm_sp=SearchF-_-Advtab1-_-Results&ds=30&recentlyadded=all&sortby=17&sts=t&tn=Life%20of%20Daniel%20Boone&yrh=1865&yrl=1860" rel="nofollow">https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=Hartley&bi=0&bx=off&cm_sp=SearchF-_-Advtab1-_-Results&ds=30&recentlyadded=all&sortby=17&sts=t&tn=Life of Daniel Boone&yrh=1865&yrl=1860</a>[/QUOTE]
