About This Item
Strasburg, VA: Shenandoah Publishing House, 1940. Hard Cover. Very Good binding. Octavo, xii, 216 pp., maps. First edition. As issued in gray cloth with title in gold on the front cover and the spine. Binding is a bit toned at the edges; spine sunned, but generally a presentable copy. Though without indication this copy is from the family library maintained by the descendants of Confederate General Eppa Hunton. There is some pencil copy editing, that looks to be in the hand of Eppa Hunton IV, grandson of General Hunton and General William Payne. Nevins summarizes the work thus, "A sympathetic, appreciative account of Ewell's military career; Ewell, the author claims, possessed many qualities often lacking in our most celebrated heroes" CWB II, 60. Dornbusch II, 2725.
