first edition Hard Cover
1870 · Boston
by E. W. Locke
Boston: Geo. D. Russell & Co, 1870. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good binding. This First Edition copy was rebound in a library style binding by Civil War historian James I. Robertson; it has his initals stamped in gold at the bottom of the spine, and his bookplate on the pastedown. Critiquing the book in the Nevins bibliography, Mr. Robertson is his amusing self, noting that his "'memoir' is light on what [Locke] actually saw but heavy on constructed conversation and self-esteem". [Nevins I, 122] (Nevins I, 122). Very Good binding. (Inventory #: 275299)
