Modern rebind in tan cloth with original tan cloth (with gilt lettering) spine laid down. 800pp. Frontispiece, numerous full-page steel-engraved portraits, color foldout map. Overall very good, with modern rebind fine. Handsome first edition of this.. we'll let the soup-to-nuts subtitle continuation tell it all: "A Cyclopaedia of Legislation During the Administration of Each Governor, from the Organization of the Territorial Government Down to Governor Taylor; with Historical and Descriptive Sketches of Each County in the State Separately, Embracing Interesting Narratives of Pioneer Life; Including an Account of the Commercial, Agricultural, and Educational Growth of Wisconsin."
