About This Item
Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins Co, 1914. First. Hard Bound. VG overall. There is a vertical crease down the spine. Hinges excellent. Lettering looks faded, but the few copies I have seen all look that way. The black lettering on the scarlet cloth leaves something to be desired./None. Author served in the 1st Maryland Infantry (CSA) from First Manassas to Appomatox. Very scarce account. ITC-98: "...at least the equal to Goldsborough's account. This among the the most valuable Confederate soldiers accounts...author twice captured..." Nevins I-107: "Possessed of both insight and interest...particularly worthwhile for Jackson's campaigns." Coulter 243. Dornbusch II-531. Howes H-706.
Maryland, being a border [and slave] state, had men serving both sides. Confederate accounts are rare and expensive. This one of two or three really good accounts about Confederate service.
