London to Ladysmith recounts the future Prime Minister's arrival in South Africa and his subsequent capture by and dramatic escape from the Boers, the adventure that first brought the name of Winston Churchill to public attention. Ian Hamilton's March collects Churchill's later despatches as he marched alongside a column of the main British army from Bloemfontein to Pretoria. Published together, these books are a vivid eye-witness account of a landmark period in British Imperial History and an insightful chronicle of a formative experience by Britain's greatest war-time leader."

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. First edition, first printing. This is the British first edition, first printing, first issue of Churchill's fifth published book. Ian Hamilton's March was the second of Churchill's two books based on his newspaper despatches sent from the front in South Africa during the Boer War. In October 1899, the second Boer War erupted between the descendants of Dutch settlers in South Africa and the British. Churchill, an adventure-seeking young cavalry officer and war correspondent, swiftly found himself in South Africa with the 21st Lancers and an assignment as press correspondent to the Morning Post. Not long thereafter, on 15 November 1899, Churchill was captured during a Boer ambush of an armored train. His daring escape less than a month later rendered him a celebrity and helped launch his political career. Churchill's first book of Boer War despatches, London to Ladysmith via Pretoria was published in England in mid-May 1900 and sold well. Ian Hamilton's March completes Churchill's coverage of the Boer War, publishing 17 letters to the Morning Post, spanning 31 March through 14 June 1900. The narrative in Ian Hamilton's March includes the liberation of the Pretoria prison camp where Churchill had been held. Though a companion and sequel to London to Ladysmith, it is notably different in appearance, content, and scarcity. The first printing saw only 5,000 copies - half as many copies as London to Ladysmith. Where Ladysmith bore a lavishly illustrated binding, Ian Hamilton's March was bound in red cloth matching the style of Churchill's first published book, The Story of the Malakand Field Force - fitting, as these were the first and last Churchill first editions published by Longmans, Green, and Co. While London to Ladysmith via Pretoria had swiftly published Churchill's dispatches in the wake of his capture and escape, for Ian Hamilton's March "the texts of the originally published letters were more extensively revised and four letters were included which had never appeared in periodical form" (Cohen, A8.1.a, Vol. I, p.105). Churchill effected these revisions while on board the passenger and cargo steamer Dunottar Castle, which was requisitioned as a troop ship, en route home to England. Arriving home from South Africa in July 1900, Churchill spent the summer campaigning hard in Oldham, where he won his first seat in Parliament on 1 October 1900 in the so-called "khaki election". This British first edition of Ian Hamilton's March was published just a few weeks later. Here is the first edition, first printing. This copy is in respectable, very good condition. The red cloth binding is square and sound, but bears the usual darkening to the spine, some wear at the hinges, spine ends and corners, and moderate soiling to the front and rear covers. Nonetheless, the spine and front cover gilt remains bright and clearly legible. The contents are bright and tight. The original black endpapers are intact, as are all maps and plans, including the tipped-in folding map at page 409. The frontispiece and protective tissue covering are likewise intact. Spotting is very light in the main body of the text, a bit heavier at the prelims. A single inked owner name appears on the ffep.

Hardcover. First Canadian edition. This is the scarce Canadian first edition of Churchill's fifth book. Ian Hamilton's March was the second of Churchill's two books based on his newspaper dispatches sent from the front in South Africa during the Boer War. During this conflict Churchill was captured by the Boers. His daring escape made him a celebrity and helped launch his political career.There were three English-language editions British, U.S. and Canadian. The U.S. and Canadian editions were published in November 1900. The Canadian is both the scarcest and most attractive of the three first editions, differing considerably in appearance from its British and U.S. counterparts, with a tan cloth binding illustrated with crossed Union Flag and White Ensign on the front cover and a red fleur-de-lis on the spine. The Canadian first editions seem particularly vulnerable to gutter breaks. They are also prone to severe spine toning. This copy is good, sound and complete though with aesthetic defects. The binding is tight with no sign of the typical gutter breaks. The front cover, with its striking crossed flags illustration, remains respectably bright, with only minor soiling and toning. The spine is toned and wrinkled with discreet brown cloth reinforcement at the head and tail. The red fleur-de-lis dulled but still visible. The rear cover is lightly scuffed and soiled. The contents are respectably bright and clean. Modest age-toning is evident only on the page edges. Spotting is quite light. We find no previous ownership marks. All maps and plans are present, including the folding map at p.408, as is the frontispiece portrait.Ian Hamilton's March completes Churchill's coverage of the Boer War, publishing 17 letters to the Morning Post, spanning 31 March through 14 June 1900. (Cohen, A8.1.a, Vol. I, p.105) The narrative in Ian Hamilton's March includes the liberation of the Pretoria prison camp where Churchill had been held. The title takes its name from General Sir Ian Hamilton's campaign from Bloemfontein to Johannesburg and Pretoria. Churchill would maintain a life-long friendship with Hamilton, who would be involved in the First World War Gallipoli landings and to whom Churchill would sell his first country home. Ian Hamilton's March was first published in England in October, just a few weeks after Churchill's first election to Parliament. This Canadian edition followed no later than mid-November. Though a companion and sequel to London to Ladysmith, it differs in important respects. While London to Ladysmith via Pretoria had swiftly published Churchill's dispatches in the wake of his capture and escape, for Ian Hamilton's March "the texts of the originally published letters were more extensively revised and four letters were included which had never appeared in periodical form" (Cohen). Churchill effected these revisions while on board the passenger and cargo steamer Dunottar Castle (requisitioned as a troop ship) en route home to England. Churchill arrived on 20 July 1900 and spent the summer campaigning hard in Oldham, capitalizing on his war status and winning his first seat in Parliament on 1 October 1900 in the so-called "khaki election."

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Churchill's Boer War narrative, which began with LONDON TO LADYSMITH, culminates with the triumphant liberation of his former-POW campmates in Pretoria. A very good copy of the Second Printing of the First English edition, which the publisher designated as a "Second Edition" but which bibliographer Ronald Cohen argues is really more a second printing, with very modest changes made to the text and overall layout of the book. To the naked eye it appears identical to the First Edition, particularly in this attractive example, which is bright and tight, with rich red cloth and little perceptible spine fade. There is a hint of shelf wear and a few faint scuffs. The contents are fine and unfoxed. 8vo (409 pages, with frontis portrait of Gen. Ian Hamilton, 1 three-color folding map, plus 9 other maps and plans, 32- page rear publishers catalogue.) (Cohen A8.1.c) (Woods A5).

Hardcover. First U.S. edition, only printing. This is the U.S. first edition, only printing, of Winston Churchill's fifth published book, the second and last of his two books based on his newspaper despatches sent from the front in South Africa. The U.S. first edition saw only a single printing. The precise number sold is unknown, but seems to be fewer than 1,500, considerably fewer than the British first edition, of which more than 5,000 first printing copies were issued. Like the U.S. first edition of London to Ladysmith, the U.S. first edition of Ian Hamilton's March is bound in pebble grain red buckram quite susceptible to blotchy wear and soiling, particularly on the spine. This copy is in very good condition. The red cloth binding remains square and clean with sharp corners. Wear and blotchiness are minimal, with appreciable mottling only to the lower front cover, spine ends, and lower front joint. Although the spine and spine gilt are mildly dulled, the color remains uniformly strong, with minimal color shift between the covers and spine. The contents are notably clean. We find no spotting and no previous ownership marks. Mild age-toning is evident only at the otherwise clean fore and bottom edges. The gilt top edge remains bright, though modestly dust soiled. The frontispiece, tissue guard, and maps are all intact, including the folding map following the text. A cosmetic split starting at the half title gutter partially exposes the intact mull beneath but does not affect binding integrity; the text block remains firmly attached to the binding.In October 1899, the second Boer War erupted in South Africa between the descendants of Dutch settlers and the British. As an adventure-seeking young cavalry officer and war correspondent, Churchill swiftly found himself in South Africa with the 21st Lancers and an assignment as press correspondent to the Morning Post. Not long thereafter - on 18 November 1899, Churchill was captured during a Boer ambush of an armored train. His daring escape less than a month later made him a celebrity and helped launch his political career. Churchill's first Boer War book, London to Ladysmith via Pretoria, contained 27 letters and telegrams to the Morning Post written between 26 October 1899 and 10 March 1900 and was published in England in mid-May. Ian Hamilton's March completes Churchill's coverage of the Boer War, comprising 17 letters to the Morning Post, spanning 31 March through 14 June 1900. While London to Ladysmith via Pretoria had swiftly published Churchill's dispatches in the wake of his capture and escape, for Ian Hamilton's March "the texts of the originally published letters were more extensively revised and four letters were included which had never appeared in periodical form" (Cohen, A8.1.a, Vol. I, p.105). Churchill effected these revisions while on board the passenger and cargo steamer Dunottar Castle, which was requisitioned as a troop ship, en route home to England. Churchill arrived on 20 July 1900 and spent the summer campaigning hard in Oldham, capitalizing on his war status and winning his first seat in Parliament on 1 October 1900 in the so-called "khaki election." The narrative in Ian Hamilton's March includes the liberation of the Pretoria prison camp where Churchill had been held and from which he had famously escaped. The title takes its name from General Sir Ian Hamilton's campaign from Bloemfontein to Johannesburg and Pretoria. Churchill would maintain a life-long friendship with Hamilton, who would be involved in the Gallipoli landings and to whom Churchill would sell his first country home. Published on 26 November 1900, the U.S. first edition was thus available for sale when Churchill arrived in New York on 8 December 1900 for his first North American lecture tour.
