About This Item
New York: Neale Publishing Company, 1905. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Octavo, 808pp., illustrated. A good, sound copy in the publisher's decorative grey cloth. Some rippling to board cloth, some dings to the page block, and the spine on this heavy book cupped. Still clean and sound, with an old crack to the front inner hinge neatly and unobtrusively repaired. The title page states "Fifth thousand," though this is apparently present in all copies of the first edition. A southern perspective on the Civil War, told through the eyes of an Alabama officer. Nevins (I, 139) states that the account is "opinionated, but generally reliable." Howes O2 (aa).

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
