"In Buff and Blue: Being Certain Portions from the Diary of Richard Hilton, Gentleman, of Haslet's Regiment of Delaware Foot-In-Our-Ever Glorious War of Independence" by George Brydges Rodney. Published in 1897! Believe First Edition. This is a SCARCE Book! It is an attractive 5" x 7¼" volume, bound in light tan cloth with gold-stamped military designs on the front cover and spine and top edge gilt. "In Buff and Blue was Rodney's first book, published in 1897 by Little Brown and Company, Boston. The book is a historical novel about a young man from New Castle who enlists in Haslet's First Delaware Regiment in June 1776. It traces the history of the unit through many battles and the winter at Valley Forge. The descriptions of military code of honor, tactics, procedures, and courtesies are said to be accurate and insightful. It shows a great deal of scholarship, especially remembering the author was only 25 when it was published." Book is in Good condition. Corners are bumped a bit. The gilt on the top page edges has faded and has some scratches. Gilt on cover and spine is in Very Good condition. Lean to the spine. Other wear/rubbing to the covers. Interior is in Good condition.
