About This Item
Athens, AL: Price Parker, 1969. Original Wrappers. Very Good+ binding. Octavo. 84 pp., illus. First edition. As issued, stapled into stiff, printed wrappers; printed in two columns with several in-text illustrations. A very nice copy with little in the way of shelfwear. As noted in the Preface, this "is composed of a series of feature stories written by Price Parker, Sports Editor for the Athens, Ala. News Courier. Included in this book are many historic stories concerning individual foot troops who fought in the great conflict now know to history as the Civil War. Others concern boom towns and more than half a century ago which now are an important part of American folk lore" (p. 1). Remarkably uncommon piece of regional history. OCLC: 4138905.
