Hardcover. Condition: Good. This small volume is a catalogue of the literature relating to the war for the union. As described in the preface, "It appears that the attention of American military officers is being directed, to a greater extent than ever before, to the professional lessons that may be obtained from a study of the literature relating to the war for the Union. The time has also arrived when certain lines of military history have been so fully collected that data relative to the names of the publications and their presence in this Library are most desirable, both as a relief to the Library force in connection with visitors, and also as a benefit to the Army at large and other applicants from a distance." The entries are organized alphabetically by state. This book is in good condition, with some wear and staining to the fabric covers. There is also a small dent in the top of the front cover. In addition, the first two fly leaves are torn at the bottom, but this does not affect any of the text. There is some slight cracking to the front hinge. The back fly leaf has what appears to be a name written in pencil. The book also features beautiful marbled page edges.…
