Item description from seller

Octavo, 152pp., illustrated. A crisp, clean copy, near fine, in the publisher's dark maroon cloth. Very mild even dust-soiling to the boards, but a firm, sound example. A very rare regimental history volume for this cavalry unit, which saw action in New Market, Appomattox (where they fought alongside Custer, right before Lee surrendered -- a portrait of Custer and his farewell address to his troops is included in the book), and elsewhere, from August 1863 through the end of the war. More than a dozen unit members perished from disease at Andersonville, and their names are listed herein, along with the cause of death. This copy bears a gift inscription reading "Truman P. LaMay, from his Grandfather LaMay." A "Peter Lamay" is listed in the roll for Company K in the rear of this volume, and this is almost certainly the "Grandfather" and author of that gift inscription. Auction records reveal just two sales in the past century, otherwise last appearing in a Goodspeed catalogue in 1945. This important regimental history missed by Broadfoot, and not in the Union Bookshelf. Nevins I, p. 138. A Civil War regimental rarity, in appealing condition. …

Store description

As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.…
