Description:
Leavenworth, KS: Journal of the U.S. Cavalry Association, 1911. Offprint. Wraps. VG+/None. Gilpin, a clerk in Upton's HQ, wrote an article for the Cavalry Association by the same title in 1908. The article is found in Dornbusch under Third Iowa Cavalry. This article was then reprinted into this book. This copy seems to be inscribed and signed by Major General James Harrison Wilson, Commander of the Campaign. Looks so real, but isn't!! Strange story: I purchased this book many years ago and it was a part of my library as a special item due to the inscription/signature. By accident an identical copy was offered on for $850. I contacted the seller with a picture and proof we had like copies, not the original. The seller withdrew the book but later offered it for $350 which they got!! Still a valuable account of operations by General Wilson at the very close of the War in Alabama and Georgia. VERY RARE!!

Description:
Toledo, OH: Slocum Publishing, 1913. First. Hard Cover. Square and tight. Ex lib with pockets, etc. removed. Interior and boards are VG/VG+./None.. Slocum was a good Corps commander who served both in the East and with Sherman in the West. Slocum was commander of one of the two corps sent West by Grant. His advice to Meade at Gettysburg was to stay and fight it out, which they did. Started the War as colonel of the 27th NY Infantry. Won a BG commission at First Bull Run. Quite likely a commander whose contributions are overlooked. He assumed a heavy responsibility at Gettysburg and did extremely well.
