Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Very Good, as noted. See scans and description. New York: Oxford University Press, 1990. 10th printing of this Oxford edition. 12mo, illustrated perfect-bound wraps, xxii + 478 pp. + 4 pp. ads. Very Good, with demure and unobtrusive original owner's signature at title page. No other writing, inside or out. Page edges slightly age-toned, touch-wear at corners and other peripheral places, several very small spots of cover soiling. Firmly bound, tight, bright and unmarked but for the mentioned signature. Not for collecting, perhaps, but definitely for reading - which is what one should do anyway, with this piece of extraordinary poetry, considered by many to be one of the two (along with Ginsberg's 'Howl") greatest American epic poems. See scans. L-11n.

George Washington Whitman was the younger brother of Walt Whitman, serving with the 13th New York at the beginning of the war - and later the 51st New York Volunteers. Whitman saw quite a bit of action with the latter unit, as he fought at Second Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Vicksburg, the Wilderness and Petersburg. His letters provide vivid accounts of the battles, and an appendix in the back also contains his war diary. Signed by Author(s).
