About This Item
[Likely Denver: The Author, 1907. Softcover. Fine. First edition. Octavo. 41; 54; [i.e. 95pp.]. Frontispiece and five plates from photographs. Printed buff wrappers. Small tear at head of the spine, front wrap with faint crease lines, very good or better. Inscribed by the author, a White soldier in the Civil War, Edwin Lucius Hoyt: "To J. M. Schenck with Compliments of 'The Boy Veteran' 4/9/07 Denver." The book has occasionally cited as being published in 1909, but given the authorial inscription and two internal dates, it was most likely published between 1905-1907.
The book consists of various texts. The first part incorporates the Civil War diary of George W. Reese (p.4-17); the second part is entitled *History of 58th United States Colored Infantry* (p.19-41). Pagination then ceases and 54pp. of "Original Addenda" begins, primarily discussing the history and actions of the Twenty-Eight Illinois Veteran Volunteers.
We could find no auction records or any other copies being offered in the trade.
