Description:
NY: Butler Brothers, n.d.. Likely a First. VG. Front ffep removed. Likely printed on iron rich news print as all the pages have an even brown tone. This does not influence the ability to read the text./None. May be the 1st NY Cav, Lincoln's Cavalry. Not sure. The author was reluctant to disclose his outfit, something suspicious. He writes much about Union political matters at the start of the War. The narrative ends after Seven Days so an early account.

Description:
n.p.: American Tract Society, {ca. 1863}. Likely a First. HB. Very small book meant for children or a shirt pocket. Book is worn as it has been used, but not abused. Pencil figures on ffep. Overall just G./No Jacket. Inscribed on ffep with, "To Wanda, From Father, 1863." " Help ? you while I am away with the army." Odd, but it contains two title pages. The second title is a varient of the first one. Contains eight separate stories with heavy dose of illustrations in each. Certainly has seen some use, but holding together nicely in its original binding. A special keepsake. Unfortunately we don't know who the soldier was or his fate.

Description:
Raleigh: Edwards & Broughton, 1893. First. Wraps bound into boards. Xlib with nearly all the faults.. Front wrap tattered and taped, but nearly all present.. See photo. However, the text is very good and nicely bound./No Jacket.. This a copy of a speech given by Avery, a NC Supreme Court judge on the date given. Very little is found on Hill who gained Lieutenant General rank in the Confederate Army. He was Stonewall's brother-in law and good friends with Joe Johnston and James Longstreet. He had great abilities and was well respected, but he was underutilized by the end of the Civil War because of political feuds with Davis and Lee. The author served in the "Bloody Sixth" North Carolina and was on Hill's staff for a period.

Description:
Raleigh: Edwards and Broughton, 1893. First. Wraps. Protected by a cardboard clamshell folder. Light chipping to the leading edges of both wraps. Soiled front right corner of the front wrap. Rest VG./None. Very little found on this gifted Confederate general. He was controversial and argumentative which cost him in his military career. "He was known as an aggressive leader, being severely strict, deeply religious and having dry, sarcastic humor. He was brother-in-law to Stonewall Jackson, a close friend to both James Longstreet and Joseph E. Johnston, but disagreements with both Robert E. Lee and Braxton Bragg cost him favor with Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Although his military ability was well respected, he was underutilized by the end of the Civil War on account of these political feuds." Wikipedia Not in any common bibliographies.
