Octavo, blue cloth, gilt letters and decoration to covers, x, 100 pp. Light speckling to spine; otherwise, Fine. “My purpose herein is purely to entertain my children, and to refresh their recollections with tales about an Army, and a Time, long since past. For good measure I have added a preface to each yarn telling how it came about. Aside from the latter, and The Deserter, all is pure fiction, though I admit to slight embellishment and sensory imagery here and there, gathered from experience.” (Inventory #: 6863s)
