Description

NY:: Sturgis & Walton,, 1910. Hardcovers; collector bookplate in each vol.; spine ends lightly worn; top edges gilt (dull); other edges untrimmed; otherwise condition quite good.. pp. + index. Eggleston's (1839-1911) reputation as a historian rests on these volumes, `a clear & remarkably fair work'--DAB. ||| He feels War began decades before attack on Fort Sumter or John Brown's raid at Harper's Ferry. The `History' finds it rooted in State & Federal government blunders, questionable judicial decisions, self-righteous radicals of North & South, inept politicians, foreign nation meddling--& above all--economics. Narrative ends at Appomattox. ||| George Eggleston served 1861-64 with Confederate cavalry & artillery. ||| Located at Yale, Univ. of Chicago, Harvard, Princeton Libraries, & Library of Congress.
