1862 1st ed Officers of Union Army Navy Generals American CIVIL WAR Battles

During the American Civil War, the public became quickly fascinated with the prominent figures in the Union and Confederate armies. So much so that authors quickly began publishing works describing the events and major figures of the war. Dean Dudley's 1862 'Officers of our Union Army' was one such work – a book that provided biographical sketches on Union generals such as Ambrose Burnside, Robert Anderson, George McClellan, and Nathaniel Banks.
This book also lists major victories for the Union from 1861 and includes portrait engravings of each general.

1884 1ed Confederate War Papers General Gustv Smith Battle Seven Pines Civil War

Gustavus Woodward Smith was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, best remembered for his role in the Battle of Seven Pines. When General Joseph Johnson was injured, Smith took over the commanding role until his health deteriorated and Robert E. Lee ultimately took over.
Following the war, Smith published a memoir of his experience in the war. 'Confederate War Papers' covers topics including Jefferson Davis's presidential election, battle tactics and maneuvers, Confederate defenses and forts, and much emphasis on the Battle of Seven Pines. However, according to Nevins,
"Smith was a failure as a general; this work is largely his rationalization for shortcomings at Seven Pines."

1887 Civil War 1st ed George McClellan Own Story Union General Slavery Lincoln
"The Union, which can alone insure internal peace, and external security to each State, Must and Shall be Preserved, cost what it may in time, treasure, and blood."
– George B. McClellan

A rare first edition of George B. McClellan's "Own Story" which wasn't published until 1887, after his death. McClellan used this work as a platform to defend his conduct, actions, and decisions during the Mexican-American War and Civil War. This book includes letters to his wife, in which McClellan reveals his pride as a general as well as his feelings toward war.
Some of the most important inclusions in this work are McClellan's views on the causes and reasons for the Civil War, noting slavery and the Lincoln-Douglas debates as primary causes, but he blamed the South as the culprit for causing the uprising, rather than putting any blame on the North.
Per Eicher,
"This is in large part a reworking of McClellan's 'Letter of the… Read More
