Item description from seller

AUTOGRAPH & INSCRIPTION BY AUTHOR, 376 pp. The first edition was printed in 1890. Due to popular public demand, this special edition was printed as frequent requests came to the publishers from various parts of the country asking for Mr. DeLeon's photograph and autograph. This present edition was made into an autograph edition where Mr. DeLeon signed every one of the portraits. Written almost immediately after the war, from notes and recollections gathered during its most trying scenes, these papers are now revised, condensed and formulated for the first time. Captain Thomas Cooper De Leon (May 21, 1839 - March 19, 1914) was a Chief Clerk Office of Pay and a member of the Confederate States Navy. He served at the same rank as personal secretary for President Jefferson Davis, being specifically entrusted with confidential correspondence. Thomas Cooper De Leon is well known for his many post war books and poetry including "Creole and Puritan" (1889), "Puritans Daughter" (1891), "Four Years in Rebel Capitals" (1893), "Confederate Memories" (1899) and "Belles, Beaux and Brains of the 60's" (1909). He was also editor of the Mobile Register, The Gossip and The Gulf Citizen after the war. Howes D-241.
