Philadelphia: Hubbard Brothers, 1888. First. Hard Cover. Pages toned evenly due to type of paper but supple and no signs of brittleness. Square and tight./None. The 15th West Virginia Infantry served near home but made excursions into the Shenandoah Valley, particularly during Early's 1864 invasion. The unit suffered heavily at Cedar Mountain.

Urbana, IL: University of Illinois, 1996. First. Hard Cover. VG+/The glare in the photo is a reflection of the Broadart protective sleeve. The jacket is in VG+ condition.. This book had a short life among Civil War book collectors. It could not compete with Tom Broadfoot's price guide. However, it has value. There are approximately 1,100 books reviewed with a short narrative on each. There are books found in Eicher that are not in Broadfoot. Gary Gallagher has written an excellent narrative on Civil War literature that is found in this book. I think Eicher should be used more like a Nevins with book information and not a price guide like Broadfoot.
