Limited to 226 lettered or numbered copies, including 200 numbered in cloth, of which this is one. Fine in fine slipcase. Prospectus loosely inserted. Signed by the author and the illustrator. The geologic and more recent history of the eight falls in or along the Mississippi River gorge between St. Paul and Minnesota, beginning with an account of the formation of this gorge and the falls as a consequence of the last Ice Age. This is followed by a discussion of each waterfall accompanied by a 3- to 5-color print of a wood engraving depicting that waterfall by Gaylord Schanilec. Two of these are two-page prints. With a bibliography and a foldout map of the area drawn by the author. One of the prints is also used as a label on the front of the slipcase, and a part of this print is reproduced as a gilt stamping on the front cover of the book. Fore- and bottom edges rough-cut.
