About This Item
The Woman in Battle: A Narrative of the Exploits, Adventures, and Travels of Madame Loreta Janeta Velazquez, Otherwise known as Lieutenant Harry T Buford, Confederate States Army. In which is given Full descriptions of the numerous battles in which she participated as a Confederate Officer...Blockade-Runner...Bond Swindle...etc. Edited by C. J Worthington, Profusely Illustrated. Richmond, VA: Dustin, Gilman & Co. 1876 First Edition. This is the story of a woman "out of her time" in her views, who thrived on the adventures she experienced. There was some dispute about the accuracy of her tales, but the men she fooled were not happy about what she did, so the disdain might be expected. There is some exaggeration, and there is much bravado, to be sure. Her exposure of many of the corruptions within the Federal government, the attitudes between the North and South all make this a very readable narrative. Condition: NOT a library book. Original impressed, gilt covers, with professional re-backing with original spine piece re-applied. New, blended end pages.
