Description:
Chicago: Church and Goodman, 1865. Foxed frontise, interior plates and title page. Slight wrinkling to top of pages and title page. It was near water sometime, but it did not damage the boards nor hinder the text./None.. Not a common book on subjects that did not receive much notoriety. Anything Missouri and Kansas related to the Civil War is hard to find. Nevins I-38: "A personal narrative, by an officer of a Kansas Colored unit; emphasizes the service of Kansas militiamen."

Description:
Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins Co, 1914. First. Hard Bound. VG overall. There is a vertical crease down the spine. Hinges excellent. Lettering looks faded, but the few copies I have seen all look that way. The black lettering on the scarlet cloth leaves something to be desired./None. Author served in the 1st Maryland Infantry (CSA) from First Manassas to Appomatox. Very scarce account. ITC-98: "...at least the equal to Goldsborough's account. This among the the most valuable Confederate soldiers accounts...author twice captured..." Nevins I-107: "Possessed of both insight and interest...particularly worthwhile for Jackson's campaigns." Coulter 243. Dornbusch II-531. Howes H-706. Maryland, being a border {and slave} state, had men serving both sides. Confederate accounts are rare and expensive. This one of two or three really good accounts about Confederate service.

Description:
NY: Putnam, 1887. First. Hard Cover. VG./None. The author served the 11th NY Battery. He was just 16 when he enlisted in 1863. Mistakenly, he was first confined with misfit bounty jumpers and captured deserters. They drew little sympathy from the rest of the army as evidenced by the shooting of several before the motley crew was shipped out to the field. Wilkeson fought at The Wilderness and then at Petersburg. Nevins I-178: "...charming and refreshing...wit and sarcasm... Dornbusch I-NY-58. There is an interesting chapter titled, "How Men Die in Battle" that is full of personal observations. THIS COPY WAS OBVIOUSLY OWNED ONCE BY A UNION VETERAN WHO SHARED THE SAME EXPERIENCES AS THE AUTHOR. THERE ARE A FEW BRIEF PENCIL ANNOTATIONS AND A NOTE CLIPPED ONTO A PAGE IN THE TEXT. THIS MAN HAD A FASCINATION ABOUT GENERAL OFFICERS. PART OF THE NOTE DEALS WITH THE WOUNDING OF UNION GENERALS.THIS OWNER IS NOT IDENTIFIED. Overall the book a very interesting read.

Nevins I-60. The 8th Texas Cavalry Regiment, was a regiment of Texas volunteers assembled by Colonel Benjamin Franklin Terry in August 1861. Though lesser known than the Texas Brigade (Hood's Brigade, ANV), the 8th Texas Cavalry distinguished itself at several battles during the American Civil War. In four years of service, Terry's Texas Rangers fought in about 275 engagements in seven states. The regiment earned a reputation that ranked it among the most effective mounted regiments in the Western Theater of the American Civil War.[Wikipedia].
