Item description from seller

(1965), 18pp. Wrps. Fine. Limited to 450 copies. A facsimile reprint of the rare 1847 edition, which I have never seen and which is not listed in Coleman's BIBLIOGRAPHY OF KENTUCKY HISTORY, Jillson's RARE KENTUCKY BOOKS, Haferkorn's THE WAR WITH MEXICO, or Sabin. As a result of this oration, Breckinridge literally talked himself into the army. He was commissioned a major of the 3rd Kentucky Volunteers, which he led into Mexico, arriving, however, too late for military action. Later, he would prove himself an admirable soldier in the Confederacy, leading men in several major engagements and ultimately named as the Confederate Secretary of War. He also served as a United States Senator, and Vice President of the United States.
