Pages 5-8 consist of "Second Chapter from the Secret History of the War," Naglee's October 6, 1864 letter to Kelley. Not in Monaghan, but just as cryptic bibliographically and clearly a variant of some sort. (Interestingly, Monaghan mentions "A Chapter from the Secret History of the War" and "First Chapter from the Secret History of the War" as variant titles -- but never any "Second Chapter.") Unusual. DORNBUSCH 51720 note (where a publication year of 1862 is mistakenly hazarded).

1867 CIVIL WAR History Abbott Illustrated Slavery Abe Lincoln Battle Maps RARE

John S. C. Abbott' writing style "did much to popularize the reading of history."
– Dictionary of American Biography

"History of the Civil War in America" is an extremely useful account of the Civil War and was published in a time wherein it would have been read as news rather than history. Though well researched, the author makes use of colorful narrative style giving these more the feel of a popular account than a sober and authoritative text. Features events leading to the cause of the conflict through Lincoln's assassination in April of 1865 and with a final chapter on the results of the conflict as of the date of publication.

Filled with incredible illustrations of maps, portraits, and scenes.

1863 US Civil War 1ed Slavery Lincoln Grant Lee Union Confederate 2v MAPS Battle

A scarce first edition of John Stevens Cabot Abbott's two-volume historical biography entitled, 'The History of the Civil War in America.' Abbott's account of the Civil War and was written and published during the war and it would have been read as news rather than history. Though well researched, Abbott utilizes a colorful narrative style thus providing a work that reads like that of a "popular" account versus the standard academic, sober, and authoritative approach. Accompanied by a myriad of illustrations of maps, diagrams, portraits, and battle scenes this work details the events leading up to the war, the eventual assassination of President Lincoln in April of 1865, and closes with the final chapter describing the results of the conflict as of the date of publication.
