Book Description
Boston: Hard Tack Publishing Co, 1901 [1889]. Early Reprint. Hardcover. Very minor shelf/edge wear (focused at head and tail), else tight, bright and unmarred. Brown cloth boards, gilt lettering, black ink decorative elements, frontispiece. 8vo. 408pp. Illus. (color and b/w plates). The best source on the army life and feeling of a Federal soldier; this delightfully written and humorously illustrated (C.W. Reed) work has rightfully become a classic." (Nevins, Vo 1, 59p). A very handsome copy, one of the brightest we've seen.
