About This Item
Richmond, VA: West & Johnston, 1860. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good -. 6.25" x 4.25" x 0.25. FIRST EDITION, 1860. Since this was printed just before the beginning of the Civil War, it is NOT a Confederate imprint. "Third Thousand" per the title page. Softcover. Spine is cocked; foxed throughout with some dampstain at the foot, yet text has been uncompromised. Curling at the corners with some soiling. Predominantly unmarked except for a previous owner's name, "L. J. Lee" dated April, 1861 in pencil on the front flyleaf, and a couple of markings in the margin on page 65, looking as the soldier was graphing the instruction of "By platoons, left wheel. MARCH.", and "Forward. March", also in pencil. The wear and soiling invokes a wonder if L. J. Lee carried this handbook with him in battle during the Civil War, and what this little book has seen. A fascinating copy. Full refund if not satisfied.
