About This Item
Chicago: Civil War Round Table, 1950. Paperback. Small 4to. Limp black cloth spine and stiff grey wrappers. 65pp (rectos only). Very good. Outer wrappers (only) a bit age toned and lightly soiled, with couple of small edge chips. First edition, tight and decent. Publication No. 4 of the famed Chicago branch (the first in the country) of the Civil War Round Table, limited to 300 copies -- this copy signed by Dalgety on the title page in blue ballpoint. An unusual study of the writings of every president between George Washington and James Buchanan on the subject of civil war. A rather homespun production, typed and mimeographed -- and definitely uncommon.
