Mendota, IL: For the Author, 1910. First. HB. Hinges tight, lettering good. Nice./No Jacket.. Dorn I-26, Coulter 143. Nevins I-190: ..."best feature is his description of Belle Isle." Deals with the 7th Illinois Cavalry.

Savannah: Civil War Centennial Commission, 1961. First. Wraps. VG. Light age yellowing around the edges. But overall VG+./None.. Companies A and B became part of the 8th Georgia Infantry. The unit was commanded by Colonel Bartow who was killed at First Manassas. There are several rosters and a short biography of Bartow. A nice Georgia piece.

NY: Van Nostrand, 1884. First. Hard Cover. VG. Spine faded and edge soiling./None.. Not unusual, the legislature convened a committee to "evaluate" the actions of General Buell while in command of the Army of the Ohio. They were critical of his actions so General Fry took Buell's side and "straightened out" the report. Not a common book. Nevins I-30 : "... An able, succinct account of Buell's major operations..".

Philadelphia: Lippincott, 1862. Third. Hard Bound. Rebound nicely. Has had some use. Text evenly toned./None.. This a third edition of 1862. Everything you might want to know about ordnance and artillery operations. Very technical with weights, sizes, ranges, etc for all types of ordnance. Chock full of tables, drawings, etc. If you are an artilleryman, you must have this manual. The manual is signed twice by a James Sullivan. The one on page 269 also has the annotation of "Mexico." My data base contains 269 Union James Sullivans so an exact pindown is impossible. The one Mexico in the U.S. that comes to mind is a town in Missouri. There was a man by that name who served in a Missouri battery. Far fetched? Probably.

Sprngfield, MA: C.A. Nichols, 1875. First. Hard Bound. VG. Frayed upper spine cloth. Private library bookplate on the front glue down./None.. This is a detailed and lengthy account of a fighting Massachusetts infantry regiment. It suffered so many casualties that it was designated a"Fighting 300 Regiment" by Fox.

Nevins I-136: ..."good for personal incidents in field and camp...diary like narrative..." Dornbusch I-MA-151.
