Decorative Cloth. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. True First Edition (1883) - Essential Civil War & Western Americana Memoir. A remarkably vivid and "checkered" account of the life of Col. John A. Joyce of the 24th Kentucky U.S. Infantry. This work is highly prized by historians for its gritty, first-hand battle accounts and its candid observations of post-war political life. Military Significance: Includes comprehensive, detailed accounts of the Battle of Shiloh, Corinth, Bragg's Raid, the Knoxville Expedition, Chattanooga, and the grueling Atlanta Campaign (including Kennesaw Mountain). Western & Political Interest: Beyond the battlefield, Joyce chronicles fascinating material on the Pacific Coast, Oregon, Washington Territory, and a notable personal visit with Brigham Young. Condition: Bound in original decorative cloth. While the cloth shows age-appropriate soiling and fraying to the tail of the darkened spine, the binding remains remarkably tight. The interior is clean, unmarked, and square—a very good, solid copy. Bibliographic Pedigree: Cited in major references including Graff 2254, Cowan p. 319, Flake 4508, Coleman 2932, and Adams Guns 1203.
