Item description from seller

Original printed green wrappers [light wear, spine repaired in style]. Stitched. VIII, 220, [4- publ. advt] pp. Several blank margins expertly repaired; early leaves moderately foxed, otherwise minor and widely scattered foxing. Good plus, in a modern slipcase of quarter morocco and marbled paper over boards. "This is the grandfather of Civil War novels. It was written as an anti-Jackson and Van Buren document in the guise of fiction and published surreptitiously in Washington in 1836, with a fictitious imprint. It describes a war centering in the southwestern mountains of Virginia in which the South is victorious. It was republished in New York in 1861 as anti- Confederate propaganda and then in Richmond in 1862 as pro- Confederate propaganda" [In Tall Cotton.]. From The Southern Literary Messenger's contemporary review, published in 1862: "The Partisan Leader supplies a great desideratum. It answers all the requirements of the public taste at this time. Interesting as a novel, surprising as a work of prophecy, and invaluable as an incentive to the prosecution of the existing struggle, and as an assurance of our ultimate success, it cannot fail to meet with universal favor." [Confederate Hundred] Howes T394aa. Parrish & Willingham 6586. Crandall 3112. Confederate Hundred 92. In Tall Cotton 182.
