1894 American Civil War Book & Grant Album Ulysses S Grant Memorial Photo Book

  
Offered is an original copy of The American Civil War Book and Grant Album, published in 1894 by William H. Produced only nine years after General Ulysses S. Grant's death, this impressive oversized memorial volume was created to preserve the memory of America's greatest Civil War general through an extensive collection of rare photographs, engravings, and historical documents. Unlike many later Civil War histories, this publication incorporates photographs of Grant's funeral, his world tour, personal relics, military documents, battlefields, and scenes associated with the Civil War that were assembled with permission from the U. It represents one of the earliest large-format photographic memorials dedicated to General Grant. The book is lavishly illustrated with high-quality full-page half-tone reproductions and remains an attractive display piece over 130 years after publication. Title: The American Civil War Book and Grant Album.

Hundreds of photographic reproductions and illustrations. Grant's world tour memorabilia. Original publisher's pictorial boards.

Pages clean with light age toning. Light edge wear and corner wear.

Some rubbing and scuffing to covers. Small chips to board edges. No major tears or missing pages noted.

Overall very good antique condition for a large-format volume over 130 years old. Please review all photographs as they form part of the description. Published shortly after General Grant's death in 1885, this work commemorates both his Civil War leadership and his extraordinary public life. It documents his famous trip around the world, his final illness at Mount McGregor, the unprecedented national mourning following his death, and numerous artifacts preserved by the United States government. The publication also preserves images of many original Civil War documents, relics, battlefields, monuments, and memorial ceremonies that have become increasingly important to historians.

Because many original photographs reproduced in this volume are now difficult to locate individually, the book remains a valuable research reference as well as an attractive collector's item.
