New York:: Charles Scribner's Sons,, (Date: 1972). Hardcover first edition -. Very near fine in a near fine dustjacket (bookplate on front pastedown, some toning to spine of dj). First printing.

A free Black tobacco planter in Baltimore County, the son and grandson of a slave and a woman from England who came to the country as an indentured servant, Banneker taught himself mathematics and astronomy late in life. Based on long lost manuscripts and personal papers, this not only recognizes Banneker for his accomplishments, but it is also a history of the economy of 18th-century Maryland, the surveying of the District of Columbia, and the methods used by early almanac makers in their computations.
