About This Item
Cincinnati, 1865. 340pp. Port. frontis of five defendants-- including Lambdin Milligan, whose case the Supreme Court eventually decided-- tried for treason, with original tissue guard. Text printed in two columns per page. Rubberstamp on title page, a couple of signatures sprung. Good+. Bound in later library buckram.
"From the supposed hotbed of copperhead sentiment in southern Indiana came spectacular revelations-- some of them probably true-- of skullduggery and treason. Provost marshals uncovered hiding places containing weapons and arrested several prominent members of the Sons of Liberty... [Judge Advocate General] Holt released a report on the Sons of Liberty that portrayed them as a disciplined, powerful organization armed to the teeth and in the pay of Jefferson Davis to help him destroy the Union" [McPherson, Battle Cry of Freedom 782].
This work includes, not only the trial proceedings, but also material on the inner workings and secret rituals of the Sons of Liberty.
FIRST EDITION. Howes P394. Not in LCP.
