About This Item
Philadelphia: Frank Desilver, 1846. 10, 303 pages. Rebound in brown cloth sometime in the 20th century. Samuel Cooper was one of the few Northern West Point graduates who resigned to join the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. Immediately appointed Brigadier General (later full general), he became Adjutant & Inspector General CSA and was the senior ranking officer in the CSA throughout the Civil War. He accompanied Jefferson Davis when he fled Richmond at the end of the war. But he also preserved the official CSA records and turned them over to Federal authorities; they became part of the Official Records published in the early 1890s. The book offered here, first published in 1936, was widely used and and revised several times prior to 1860. This "New Edition," published in 1846, included "additions and improvements." The binding is in virtually as new condition. Pages are toned and foxed, but all text is quite legible; first 15 leaves have a chip in bottom margin that is a result of an old acidic stain.. New Edition. Hardcover. About Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Book.
