"This is the Crane type 'male' novel of battle tactics, although Shaara's canvas is much wider as he moves from one character to another and one battle situation to the next. Unfortunately for collectors, the novel was poorly made and cheaply produced and is thus rarely found in fine condition." [Larry Olpin, "Collecting American Civil War Novels," FIRSTS , January, 1996].

Very good; one page with edge bump; d.j. has just a few edge scrapes, else v.g. and bright. Previously owned by Alice Cromie, Chicago novelist and Civil War expert (affixed name sticker on front fly).

A one-of-a-kind example of a scarce source of genealogical Lincolniana. Baber was a descendant of the Hanks family, and a relation to Lincoln . The book that resulted from this volume was described as a “masterful study” that “traces the ancestry of Abraham Lincoln on his mother’s side, compiling the known family traditions and supplying little-known connections in Virginia, North and South Carolina, Illinois, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Arkansas and Missouri .”

This item is a mimeographed typescript produced by Mrs. C. Gerald Brann, of Bloomington, and is bound in blue boards similar to the 1960 book. Included are ephemeral materials including an errata sheet bearing Baber’s handwritten notes, and separate index pages. All of this was used to print the book.

The volume is inscribed and signed by Baber to Lincoln scholar and collector James Hickey, and includes interesting personal letters and notes discussing, among other things, fence rails then still existing on Baber’s farm that were split by the “Hanks Boys,” and perhaps Lincoln, in the 1830’s.

This is a rare pre-publication copy of an important volume of Lincolniana.

Light sun; light chipping of extremities; light foxing; else very good.

One of the truly classic Lincoln biographies, and perhaps the best chronicle of the pre-presidential years. Unfortunately, the author died before he could get Lincoln to the White House, and the account ends with the last debate with Douglas.

Four Brothers in Blue is generally recognized as one of the best personal reminiscences of the Civil War. Singularly unique, as being written from the field by four Massachusetts brothers who served in the Army of the Potomac. It provides a vivid picture of the life of the Union soldier. Based on letters and diaries of the author (who gives an accompanying narrative) and his three brothers. This copy is especially remarkable for the marginalia a previous owner left. The previous owner was clearly a comrade of the Carter brothers, and his margin notes comment on the text. Some water damage on text; light foxing; otherwise very good; the book is rebound in beautiful ¾ midnight blue leather, with gilt lettering and marbled boards.

A desirable book from his library; v.g. w/ lt. sp. sunning.
