About This Item
New York: Fleming H. Revell Company, 1910. Wraps. Fair. Stitched wraps. 45 pages. Paper covers with title on the front. Front cover with a folding flap is detached. An inscription in purple pen is written on the front blank end sheet and possibly in the hand of Giles Buckner Cooke. The inscription is difficult to read and the best guess reads like this - "From force of circumstances my Easter greeting comes late. ? ? ? dear Mother Church ? us 40 days of Easter ????? (rest is not legible) - [signed] Pastor". On the next blank front end sheet is a gift inscription to Giles B. Cooke - "Giles B. Cooke From His Dear Friend Mrs. C. E. Waddell Easter Day 1913." On page 42 the same apparent purple pen was used for a few margin marks. From wikipedia: Giles Buckner Cooke (1838-1937) was a Confederate officer in the American Civil War, a school teacher and school principal, and an Episcopal priest. He is best known for his service on the personal staff of Gen. Robert E. Lee during the Siege of Petersburg and the closing months of the active existence of the Army of Northern Virginia. As a commissioned veteran of the defeated Confederate cause, he changed careers and because an educator and ordained minister. When he died in 1937, he was the last survivor of General Lee's military family.[1].
