This is the last book which Sampson Low published during Verne's lifetime. Interest in his works had declined and the number printed was low, resulting in this becoming one of the rarest of the Sampson Low editions of Verne's works, currently listed at over $5000 by antiquarian booksellers. Although the story takes place entirely in the United States, it has never been published there. *2008, first reprint published by Camille Cazedessus, Jr., Chimney Rock, Colorado.
