Hamburg, SC: Robinson and Carlisle, 1851. First printing. Stitched self wraps, very good, two short repaired tears, some tanning, pages unopened along top edge. 48 pp. Howes B-811. Brookes, from North Carolina, was set to be a Baptist clergyman, when told by one of his mentors that if he wanted to get ahead in life, he had to marry into wealth. He married three times, each time to a woman of wealth and estate. According to the North Carolina online biographical encyclopedia, after the deaths of his first two wives: "Not content with the already vast estates he had built up in Georgia, Brookes married Mrs. Sarah J. Myers in 1831 and obtained thereby two plantations in Aiken and Edgefield counties, S.C. Soon after this marriage he settled on an estate at Woodville, near Hamburg, in Aiken County, S.C., where he spent most of the remainder of his life. From Woodville he operated a vast network of plantations and gangs of slaves until his death only ten days before Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse." Very Good. Item #H12527
