About This Item
Boston: Lee and Shepard Publishers, 1882 SIGNED and inscribed on the first blank page: "To Mrs. Edward Ellery / with the regards of the / author / D. R. Locke." Locke is best-known for the works he wrote under the name Petroluem V. Nasby. An ardent Unionist and foe of slavery, Locke vigorously supported the Northern cause. His chief weapon was a heavy irony, with his character Nasby, a coarse and vicious Copperhead, arguing illiterately the Southern position. Used for a serious end, such verbal fooling delighted Northern readers, including President Abraham Lincoln, who occasionally read Nasby letters to his cabinet. Nasby's signature is quite scarce. Size: 8vo. Illus. by Illustrated. First Edition.. Decorated Green Cloth. Near Fine.
