About this Item
Description:
First edition. Large thick octavo. 596pp. Illustrated with steel engravings. Green cloth stamped in gilt and blind. Moderate foxing on title page and a several pages of text and engravings, else a near fine, bright copy. "The histories of wars are records of the achievement of men, for the most part: the chroniclers have had to record that women, by their intrigues or their fatal gift of beauty, have been the cause of strifes innumerable; and it is confessed that they have inspired heroism and knightly deeds, but they have had small share in the actual conflicts. It has been different in our Conflict of the Union. Indeed, we may safely say that there is scarcely a loyal woman in the North who did not do something in aid of the cause." from the introduction.
