This scarce land guide for Seminole County, Oklahoma was published by J. Read Moore. It contains a wealth of local information including a complete roll of full blood Seminoles and New Born Freedman, and 56 pages of township maps showing ownership (the small folding map of Seminole County has perished). The preface notes the maps were provided by E. Hastain so that the allotment and map information could be combined in one convenient volume and apparently justify the high original price of $12.50 (over $300 in today's prices). 52 pages, octavo, stamped leather.

Condition: C+

Estimate: $300 - $400

Sold for: $150
