"George Castriot, Surnamed Scanderbeg, King of Albania" by Clement C. Moore, published in New York by D. Appleton & Company in 1850. The work recounts the life and career of George Castriot (Scanderbeg), the celebrated 15th-century Albanian leader and resistance figure, making this an interesting early account of Albanian and Balkan history.
This 12mo edition retains its original paper wrappers, with advertisements on the rear cover. The spine shows folds and edgewear consistent with its age and original paper binding.
Of additional literary interest, the author Clement C. Moore is best known for "A Visit from St. Nicholas," commonly called “The Night Before Christmas,” which he wrote approximately three decades before this 1850 publication. This makes the volume an intriguing connection between Moore's historical writing and the work for which he became famous.
