About This Item
New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1889. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. Very Good. 4 1/2 X 7 Inches. 78 PP. First printing in the original brown cloth binding. Signed and inscribed by Collis directly on the FFEP. Septima was the wife of Union General and Medal of Honor winner Charles H.T. Collis. Her memoir recounts her life on the frontline alongside her husband as well as social life during the war and meeting President Lincoln. While not uncommon, Septima remained torn by her Southern sympathies (having been born in Charleston, SC) and her life with the Union army. Her brother David, a Confederate soldier, was killed at the Battle of Murfreesboro in July of 1862. Her concise memoir remains a terrific read and one of the few accounts we have of life for the female on the frontlines of the American Civil War. Signed copies extremely scarce. <br /> <br /> Light mottling and wear to covers. Binding remains clean and tight. A very attractive copy overall.
