This little booklet was published in New York, with an excerpt from a “New York Times” article, immediately after Crapo and his wife crossed the Atlantic in a 20 foot boat, It forms the core of what was later to become Crapos popular book, Strange But True. In contrast to that work, this book is very difficult to find. Not in Toy or Morris & Howland. Later editions were published in other locations, but this is the first. It is scarce, Worldcat showing only eight libraries holding copies. A fresh copy in original pictorial wraps.
