Journal of Alfred Ely, A Prisoner of War in Richmond.
by LANMAN, CHARLES (editor).
New York (D. Appleton and Company), 1862.. 359, (1)pp. Steel-engraved frontispiece portrait, 1 wood-engraved plate hors texte. Sm. 4to. Publishers red buckram (dull). Lanmans own copy, inscribed to him from the Publishers on the front flyleaf, with holograph alterations and corrections by him to his introductory text, in pencil. Though mostly of an editorial nature, some of these-- such as his addition near Bull Run to identify the battle of July 1861, are of notable interest. Slightly chipped at head and foot of backstrip, hairline crack at front inner hinge, but a neat copy. From the Maurice Bloch library. (Inventory #: B25432-1)
