About This Item
Chicago: R. S. Peale & Co, 1891. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good-. Small quarto, 558pp., illustrated. A better than usual copy of this cheaply made, heavy volume, overall about very good in the publisher's red decorative cloth. Inner hinges thinly cracked, but holding, page block sagged, somewhat. One internal plate detached, but present and laid-in. Contemporary gift inscription, almost illegible, on a front blank. 1-inch closed tear at the crown. Internally clean; a perfectly decent reading or reference copy of this extensive biography of the man who, along with Grant, saved the Union on the battlefield.

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.
