About This Item
[New York]: [G. P. Putnam's Sons ("for private circulation")], 1892. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. Octavo, 155pp., illustrated. A crisp, clean copy, very near fine, in the publisher's navy cloth. Bottom corners bumped, contemporary owner's name on the front free endpaper and again on the title page, else a nice, clean copy, with a few pages unopened. Extremely scarce memoir of this Civil War General from Indiana, who served as aide-de-camp to McClellan at the start of the war, then being elected to Congress, and later serving as Judge Advocate General of the US Army. During his time in the Indiana state Legislature and in the US Congress, he was a vocal opponent of the expansion of slavery into the west, and some of his speeches to that effect are included in this book. This privately printed volume was evidently produced in very small numbers; we count just two holdings in OCLC (Indiana State Library, App. State). Missed by Broadfoot, Nevins, etc. Untraced at auction. An elusive rarity among Indiana Civil War volumes.

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.
