In uncommon variant green cloth binding, rather than the more typical brown cloth, MF Consignment. Anna Morris Holstein (née, Ellis; pen name, Mrs. H.; April 9, 1824 - December 31, 1900) was an American organizational leader, civil war nurse, and author. From 1862 until the close of the Civil War, Holstein was engaged in the hospital service, and after the Battle of Gettysburg, she was matron-in-chief of a hospital in which 3,000 seriously wounded men were looked after. She was the founder and first regent of the Centennial and Memorial Association of Valley Forge, and a regent of the Valley Forge Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.). It was largely through her influence that George Washington's headquarters at Valley Forge were purchased, restored and made accessible to the people. The preservation of Washington's home at Mount Vernon was accomplished largely through her efforts, Holstein and her husband being among the first promoters of this project.
