About This Item

Harrisburg: Stackpole, 1959. Very Good+ in a good dustjacket. Bound in full pictorial cloth. Octavo. Map-endpapers. 466pps., with numerous maps and illustrations. There is a lean to the spine and light dustspotting to the board-edges. Also, a small abrasion at the top of the front pastedown and the original owner's gift inscription, neatly-penned, at the top of the second fep. Otherwise clean, tight, and bright; the pages are immaculate. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has moderate chipping at the tips and the spine-ends with a couple of closed tears on either panel. The original price of $5.95 is intact on the front flap. SIGNED and inscribed by the author "with best wishes from another old Pennsylvania Guardsman." ".In the summer of 1862 Lincoln sought victory by constituting the Army of Virginia in the Warrenton area, under Maj. Gen. John Pope, to threaten Lee from that direction while McClellan continued to press against Richmond on the James River. But the Confederates, more agile mentally and physically, defeated Pope in detail, first at Cedar Mountain then on a larger scale at Second Manassas (Bull Run). Following a dramatic aftermath at Chantilly, Lee invaded the North, with Harrisburg as his initial objective. McClellan, preempting command of the combined Federal forces, followed Lee to Frederick, thence over the western mountain passes where two battles were fought. Meantime Jackson circled around to capture Harper's Ferry, after which he rejoined Lee on the Antietam where was fought the bloodiest single day of the war. McClellan should have won, but his lethargy and errors caused the fight to end in a stalemate, after which Lee retreated into Virginia. The author, in addition to clarifying the flow of events, gives in his analysis the reasons for what happened, and brings into sharp relief the main characters of the drama."

Terms of Sale

Nooks Of Books


Payment Methods Accepted:
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover Card, and checks or money orders made out to Jeffrey C. Wright. You can also, if you like, make your payment -- credit card or bank transfer -- through Paypal.com (Acct name: nooksofbooks@comcast.net).

Grading:
Dealers who are otherwise members of prestigious bookselling organizations should know that you can\'t grade a book Fine if it\'s remaindered; nor can a dustjacket be graded Fine that is price-clipped. And yet we see this sort of thing -- more and more -- and from all manner of establishments. It reflects poorly on the industry.
Thus, we recommend that any prospective online customer insist on a thorough description (such as are issued through these Nooks) for any collectible item. We\'re well-versed, here, in the grading process and we do so fairly if not conservatively.

Refunds:
We understand all too well the hesitancy of some collectors to make their purchases online, particularly in such cases where books are scarce or costly. We, therefore, stress the integrity in these Nooks. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, or all costs you\'ve incurred will be refunded -- no questions asked -- providing the book is returned to us in the same condition within two weeks.

Shipping:
Though most booksellers are quite professional and know how to properly handle their wares, I\'ve noticed (being a book-buyer, too) that many online shops can be slipshod and amateurish in their shipping practices. This being so, we\'d like to assure you: when you buy from us the item will be nicely and securely presented. It will be gift-wrapped, sealed in a plastic bag to protect it against water damage, encased in bubble wrap and/or foam \'peanuts\' and boxed. We ship books out the way we like to receive them. Except, perhaps, in the rare occasion of an inexpensive reading copy, I\'d not think of consigning a book from these Nooks to the hard knocks of the postal system in a simple bubble-mailer. You won\'t get that shoddy handling here.

Insurance:
It is our policy to pay the insurance for any purchase over $200.00. Should you like to provide your own insurance for less of a sum, the cost is $1.30 for $50.00 of coverage, $2.20 for $100.00, and $3.20 for up to $200.00 of coverage. Insurance, in such cases, is suggested (simply state your preference in the comments segment during checkout) as we cannot be responsible for books that are lost in transit.
