Condition: The cover and spine are loose and has tears. A few (maybe 4 pages) are loose from the spine and I am not sure about that page that is signed by the Author. The Signed page is to Philip Dunbar Gulager (Civil War Veteran 7th Reg New York) who is the husband of George Francis Train Daughter. In the middle of his campaign for president in 1870, Train decided to make a trip around the globe, which was covered by many newspapers. The actual traveling took 80 days, though he stayed two months in France, supporting the Paris Commune, for which he spent two weeks in jail (the US government and Alexandre Dumas intervened to get him released).[11] His exploits possibly inspired Jules Verne's novel Around the World in Eighty Days; the protagonist Phileas Fogg is believed to have been partially modeled on Train ***Tracking and insurance includedCHECK PHOTOS/SCANS FOR CONDITIONWe accept various payment methodsAny questions please do not hesitate to askTHANK YOU FOR YOUR BUSINESS!!Inventory: BIN BOOKS ***
