Civil War / Correspondence between Generals Early and Mahone in Regard 1st 1881

  

A Correspondence between Generals Early and Mahone, in Regard to a Military Memoir of the Latter. Author: [Civil War] Early, Jubal Anderson and William Mahone Title: A Correspondence between Generals Early and Mahone, in Regard to a Military Memoir of the Latter Publication: [Lynchburg, VA]: [1881]. Backed in morocco with corners. Binding is quite sharp without appreciable wear; the pamphlet self is worn, soiled, foxed, but is much better presented in this Sangorski & Sutcliffe binding. A series of correspondence between the two generals related to John Watts De Peyster's biography (1871) of Mahone and Mahone's military record.

A glimpse into the prevailing friction of the post-war South. From the library of notable Civil War and Americana collector Charles Sanders, Jr, with his bookplate on the rear pastedown.

A difficult pamphlet to find. Dornbusch notes it was published in 1871, while Nicholson identifies the date as 1881. While Dornbusch was very thorough it is likely his suggested date is based on the date of Peyster's biography. We feel more confident in Nicholson's assessment coupled with Sanders' own note on the rear pastedown corroborating Nicholson. Subject: Civil War & Military, History--U.
