Item description from seller

[1999] First Publisher's Trade Paperback, 448 pages plus one page about author. First published in book form in 1866. Condition: Small mark on top edge; else overall Near Fine. [Free of the smells of old humidity stains or the smell of smoke from a cigarette or cigar smoker.] This is one of the most exhilarating of war memoirs, author Heros von Borcke gives a stirring account of his military service in the cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia. The story begins when a young Prussian soldier boarded a Confederate blockade runner in Bermuda bound for South Carolina. Narrowly escaping capture in Charleston Harbor, he quickly earned a commission in General J.e.b. Stuart's cavalry command in Virginia. He rode with Stuart's men in the battles of Seven Pines, the Seven Days, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Brandy Station before being wounded in the early part of the Gettysburg campaign. One critic said this book "is one that no student of Confederate history will forget. Swords clash and bugles blow on every page of it." Historical, exciting reading. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991. We describe the condition of our books thoroughly and honestly, so you'll know exactly what you will be receiving when you order. We ship promptly.

We are a well-established, well-respected book dealer who is professional, honest, and ethical in our business dealings. We tend to describe each book in a reserved, conservative manner, rather than oversell a book or sidestep the responsibility of addressing its flaws. Book club editions and library books along with books without dustjackets (if they came with dustjackets) are pointed out in our descriptions. We describe our books in detail, pointing out the precise condition of each book based on our opinion. It's your assurance that the book we describe is as close as possible to the book you will receive. In business since 1991, we typically have the highest ratings on major web sites. It will be a pleasure to serve you. R. Siedlecki R. Siedlecki Vintage Books
