1887 Civil War 1st ed George McClellan Own Story Union General Slavery Lincoln
"The Union, which can alone insure internal peace, and external security to each State, Must and Shall be Preserved, cost what it may in time, treasure, and blood."
– George B. McClellan

A rare first edition of George B. McClellan's "Own Story" which wasn't published until 1887, after his death. McClellan used this work as a platform to defend his conduct, actions, and decisions during the Mexican American War and Civil War.

Per Eicher,
"This is in large part a reworking of McClellan's 'Letter of the… Read More
