He led the army of the Swiss Federation to defeat the Sonderbund (the alliance that seven largely Catholic Swiss cantons had formed against the federal government) in a campaign that lasted only from 2 to 29 November and claimed fewer than a hundred lives. The cantons that opposed the federal government (Lucerne, Fribourg, Valais, Uri, Schwyz, Unterwalden and Zug) agreed to accept national rule in religious matters.With an early owner's name on front paste-down. Somewhat foxed, but otherwise in good condition, with a small tear in 2 maps and an occasional minor stain. Front hinge cracked. Important primary source for the Sonderbund War in Switzerland.l Barth 5719; WorldCat (6 copies); not in Jähns; for Dufour: NBG 15, col. 67.
