Hardback. Condition: Good. Raise the curtain on bugles, brogans, and bibliographic bravado. The Civil War Digest (1960) by Ralph Newman and E. B. Long (those two indefatigable archivists of smoke and consequence) is the stout field guide to America?s most argued-over campfire. Published by Grosset and Dunlap , it?s the sort of volume that smells faintly of library paste and powder smoke, and proceeds?politely, decisively?to march you from opening volley to after-action report without once losing step or hat. A ?digest,? yes?but not a thin gruel. Think rations for the mind : compact, calorific, and capable of powering spirited conversation all the way from Bull Run to Appomattox. Newman and Long roll out battles, biographies, dispatches, and delicious miscellany with the brisk confidence of men who have seen more archives than sunsets. The result is a persuasive parade of who did what, where, when, and with which remarkably stubborn logistics , arranged so even the most map-averse reader can navigate without a staff officer. What?s inside the knapsack: Battle snapshots presented with a quartermaster?s discipline: dates, places, consequences, and a sly wink at the fog of war. Profiles of principals ?generals with theatrical whiskers, politicians with pocket constitutions, and soldiers who wrote letters that still smoulder. Curated curios : the war?s oddities, side-notes, and footnotes that escaped their footnotes. A sense of scale that flips from grand strategy to muddy boot in half a page, then back again without spilling your coffee. And because presentation matters: this copy arrives with its dust jacket intact ?that handsome paper uniform which has survived the decades with only a couple of cellotape repairs (period-correct battlefield surgery), otherwise in good condition . Think of it as patina with a job to do. The book beneath is Condition: Good ?square, sound, ready for bivouac on your bedside table and inspection by any passing historian. Vital stats for your orderly room: Title: The Civil War Digest Authors: Ralph Newman & E. B. Long Publisher: Grosset and Dunlap , 1960 ISBN: none (like a decent drummer boy, it answers to its name) Condition: Good , with dust jacket (a couple of cellotape repairs, but presentable and proud) Vendor: Crappy Old Books ?where the name is self-deprecating and the stock insists on standing to attention. Why buy it now? Because this is the portable battlefield companion you consult when a map bristles with arrows and your brain requests a summary, a quotation, and a firm decision on which ridge mattered. It?s the book that keeps the war legible and human , that remembers the weather and the railheads, and that understands how a letter home can tilt a nation?s heart. Slide it onto the shelf between the grand narratives and the regimental histories; it will introduce them to each other, make them get along, and call roll at dawn. Carry it, quote it, argue with it?then put it back in its jacket like the gentleman you are. History, tidied but lively. March on.
