Leather bound decorative with gilt letters over dark blue. Reprinted 1984 from the 1877 edition. "Collector's Library of the Civil War series" Decorative end-papers. Red ribbon page marker. All edges gilt. 252pp. Fine book. "Wilkinson writes in his memoirs of the many opportunities, always spurned, for personal profit during his years as a Blockade Skipper, when thousand of dollars were invested in a single venture and the profits were so immense that the game was well worth the candle." "He adds ruefully, 'there are times when I cannot decide whether I acted the part of a fool, or a patriot."
