A unique association copy of Louis Philippe d'Orléans' work in favor of trade unions, inscribed by him to former Union General George B. McClellan. Prince Philippe volunteered for the Union Army during the Civil War, and served on McClellan's staff for almost a year. His inscription reads: "Au Général McClellan souvenir de son ancien aide de camp, Louis Philippe D'Orleans." Prince Philippe, a historian and author, wrote several works of history, including the present example and a multi-part history of the Civil War, titled A History of the Civil War in America.
