NOTES ON SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA (Bulletin of the Virginia State Library, Vol. XV, Nos. 2-4, September 1925) by Watson, Walter A. | edited by Mrs. Walter A. Watson and Wilmer L. Hall - 1925

Richmond: Davis Bottom, 1925. Hard Cover. Very Good+ binding/Very Good+ dust jacket. Octavo. [2], 346 pp. First edition. In original maroon cloth with title in gold on the front cover and spine; with publisher's plain brown wrapper. Spine sunned a bit, otherwise, remarkably bright; penciled at the top of the title page is "Mrs Watson," uncertain as to whether this was a copy pulled aside for her or this note is indicative of something or someone else; beyond this, contents are clean; publisher's wrapper is without wear and now in a mylar protector. Remarkably uncommon, thus. Watson made the acquaintance of John S. Mosby in Mosby's latter years and recounts some of Mosby's pointed reminiscences on a number of Confederates, but especially of Robert E. Lee. Quite a bit of Confederate history is included.
