Hardcover. 5.5 inches x 3.75 inches. Printed by J. W. Woods. Original red cloth binding. Paper spine label.

Description:
1866 1ed Jefferson Davis Prison Life Civil War Slavery Confederate President CSA"A sympathetic account of Davis's confinement at Fortress Monroe; by the physician assigned to attend him; includes several long conversations." (Nevins)
A rare first edition of the "Prison Life of Jefferson Davis" by John Joseph Craven. According to Sabin, this first edition was printed on both small and large paper and includes a "Political Letter written to a Citizen of Illinois." This work also 'helped cement Davis's image as a Lost Cause martyr." (Boritt, Holzer). It was
"written by the physician in attendance during the imprisonment in Fortress Monroe…A kind of diary of the daily life, giving the gist of conversations. Written by a Union man, but sympathetic and forgiving. Unlikely to please the rabid element of either side." (Larned, Lit. of Am. History).
Includes full-page woodcut engraving of Davis in prison.

Author Richard Eddy wrote an account of the regiment and its involvement in the war; however, according to Nevins, this work is much more a "damnation of the South and slavery than a regimental history." Other notable contents include reports on railroads and railroad lines, description of Union barracks, and of course descriptions of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg.
