Add to basketTrue First Edition (1883) ? Essential Civil War & Western Americana Memoir. A remarkably vivid and "checkered" account of the life of Col. John A. Joyce of the 24th Kentucky U.S. Infantry. This work is highly prized by historians for its gritty, first-hand battle accounts and its candid observations of post-war political life.
Military Significance: Includes comprehensive, detailed accounts of the Battle of Shiloh, Corinth, Bragg's Raid, the Knoxville Expedition, Chattanooga, and the grueling Atlanta Campaign (including Kennesaw Mountain).
Western & Political Interest: Beyond the battlefield, Joyce chronicles fascinating material on the Pacific Coast, Oregon, Washington Territory, and a notable personal visit with Brigham Young.
Condition: Bound in original decorative cloth. While the cloth shows age-appropriate soiling and fraying to the tail of the darkened spine, the binding remains remarkably tight. The interior is clean, unmarked, and square?a very good, solid copy.
Bibliographic Pedigree: Cited in major references including Graff 2254, Cowan p. 319, Flake 4508, Coleman 2932, and Adams Guns 1203.
An indispensable volume for collectors of Kentucky history, Civil War memoirs, or 19th-century Western travel.
