About This Item
Stamford, Connecticut: Longmeadow Press, 1994. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Book was originally published by Perrien-Keydel Co. Detroit, Michigan, in 1903. Hard cover in very good condition with navy boards and gold gilt lettering on spine and front board. Text block clean and tight; no writings, no markings noted. Contains over 500 black and white illustrations/photographs throughout. Dust jacket in likewise very good condition; not price clipped (there is no printed price.) * From the book, ""Some of the remarkable stories in this book are told in the simple language of the heroes themselves--partly out of modesty, but also because of their lack of literary and reportorial skills. On the other hand, many of the incidents have been related by officers who were witnesses to the deeds of their subordinates, and who had the facility to describe them in the manner they deserved, but without exaggeration or embellishment. The Congressional Medal of Honor is thus the nation's grateful acknowledgment of heroic deeds performed in its behalf. 'Deeds of Valor' records for posterity those thrilling deeds from the Civil War.""
