A Narrative of the Extraordinary Life of Amos Wilson, who Expired in a Cave in the Neighborhood of Harrisburgh (Penn.), after having Therein Lived in Solitary Retirement for the Space of Nineteen Years, in Consequence of the Ignominious Death of his Sister. Annexed, is the Writings of Wilson while a Recluse.... Philadelphia, 1839. 24 p. Two woodcuts. Plain wrappers. One quarter inch of corner of frontispiece trimmed off, foxing. The subject was the brother of Harriot Wilson, whose highly-publicized hanging for murder in 1802 gave birth to several sensational pamphlets. Brother Amos allegedly arrived with a pardon one minute after his sister's execution; in consequence of this set- back, he chose to live the remainder of his life in a cave. One of the charming woodcuts depicts poor Harriot swinging, with Amos galloping toward her, pardon in hand. Howes W515.

Providence: H. Trumbull, 1829. 36 p. incl. frontis. Stitched in contemporary plain wrappers. Some browning and soiling, else very nice.
