New York: Thomas Yoseloff, 1956. Book. Illus. by Profuse Maps, Illustrations and Portraits. Good. Full-Leather. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A facsimile reprint in quality, as new paper inside.

Solid hinges inside and out, so a very readable set. This was a sought after account of the Civil War in its day, but no longer compares to modern accounts such as Shelby Foote. It is a companion piece for its illustrations, and battle accounts. Inside Exceedingly clean and tight. This is a bargain because of its worn spines. Images on request.
