Uncle Ben's Cobblestones / Miller, Walter Henry Baxter / (HB/1904-1904/B/USED)

Condition note: Vintage book is very clean with yellowed pages and cover that has minor cover and corner wear, considering the age.

"To all those boys and girls who wish to "gather out the stones" and build up good strong "walls of knowledge. If the walls thus built prove to be as useful in the coming years as my old cobblestone wall has been to me, my stories will not have been told in vain." -Uncle Ben
