The Soldier In Our Civil War: A Pictorial History of the Conflict 1861-1865. New York: J. H. Brown Publishing Company, 1885, volume II, 473 pages with index. Portions of the original edition have been laminated in place affecting the first eight pages. Otherwise the book is nicely aged, with some water stains and buckling. Fine.
With illustrations on nearly every page, this step-by-step accounting of the Civil War truly proves itself to be an important reference book on the tragic American schism -- complete with a daily accounting of events that lists the number of soldiers involved in each skirmish, battle, and engagement. Details are also included specifying the number wounded, killed, and missing.
Estimated Value $250 - 350.
