A Note on Image Quality:

The quality of historic images are subject to the wearing of time, the capabilities of the original photographer, and limitations of period technology. History affords us no re-takes; we must content ourselves with what has been left to us.  Please note that we do not attempt to fix, enhance or disturb the original image in any way, as we feel these eccentricities add to its historic charm. Thank you for taking this into consideration before making your purchase.

Free Shipping on each additional Buy it Now item!

Pay only one flat rate for all Buy it Now items -- No Limit!  Please request an invoice when purchasing multiple items, as the auto-checkout will not correctly apply this discount.

Shipping & Handling Rates -Multiple Item Discount

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I know your image description is accurate?

We strive to make our photo descriptions as accurate as possible. Descriptions are taken directly from the U.S. Library of Congress, National Archives, or other sources as noted. In many cases, these institutions hold the original negatives and state the ascribed notes directly from the original photographer. Therefore, we use these institutions as our standard of authority on description accuracy. We are not responsible for errors and we will not participate in disputes. Should you have a dispute, please contact the sighted source directly.

This listing provides buyers with the opportunity to review the image and agree or disagree with the item description before finalizing a purchase.  As such, no refunds will be issued on the basis of an allegedly inaccurate description.  We encourage you to feel comfortable with the stated description before ordering.

When can I expect my package?

Items are delivered via USPS First Class mail (2-5 business days) with no longer than one (1) day handling time. Your item should not be considered untimely unless it has not been received after one full week from your payment date (within the United States). Please consider weekends and holidays when anticipating your package arrival date as well. 

International delivery times vary depending on location.  While First Class International usually delivers within 7-14 business days, it offers no guarantee on delivery times and may take up to a month.  Please take this into consideration if you are outside the United States and placing a time-sensitive order.

Is your transit packaging secure?

Great care will be taken to ensure that your item arrives in excellent condition. Prints are shipped flat on cardboard and sealed in a water-resistant envelope or, for posters and maps, rolled in a crush-resistant tube. We've successfully shipped thousands of prints in this manner, which demonstrates a reliability in our packaging methods.  Items will arrive in good order when handled properly by postal carriers. 

Please note that we pay extra charges to have parcels delivered as PACKAGES, not regular mail.  This means your carrier should deliver your package to your doorstep (not bend or cram it into your mailbox).  Should you find your package damaged due to this type of handling, please contact your local post office.

How long do I have to pay?

Payment is expected within (7) seven days. This 7 day period may be used to acquire multiple items for the multiple item shipping discount. If 7 days is insufficient, please submit your payment and we will hold your shipment until you have acquired all your desired purchases. The multiple item discount will be applied on all items shipped together. 

If payment is not received by the eighth day after purchase, we will initiate an unpaid item case.  We pay fees on all items sold through eBay and this process is the only way to reverse fees incured by unpaid transactions.  Should a payment issue arise, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're happy to work with you!

What do the S&H charges cover?

The shipping and handling charges associated with this item cover:

Shipping your package Shipping materials such as tubes, envelopes, paper, cardboard, etc. eBay insertion fees eBay final value fees Electronic payment costs such as Paypal transactions fees Transportation costs (applied to international sales only)

Please note our very low auction starting price.  These costs are not included into that price, but rather the shipping and handling portion of the transaction.  This is done to avoid fee double jeopardy:

With eBay's bracketed fee scale, including the selling fees into the starting price would push the sale into a higher fee bracket, resulting in fee double-jeopardy (paying higher fees to recover the cost of fees).  These higher cost would ultimately be passed on to our buyers.  We find this unacceptable, as we are constantly striving to keep our prices as low as possible.  We hope that you will framiliarize youself with our price structure before you bid.  Should you have further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

What is your return policy?

We will happily exchange any defective or problematic merchandise. However, cash refunds are not allowed, as your bid is a commitment to buy according to eBay policy.  The nature of our merchandise also compells us to protect against being treated as a lending library.  Therefore, please be confident of desire for our items before placing your order.  We ask that you contact us with any potential issue before leaving negative feedback, as we are committed to your 100% satisfaction and feel any problem can be easily resolved.

You may be whatever you resolve to be.   -- Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson

Bush on March 12, 2003, and established by Executive Order 13289.[1] It recognizes those military service members who have deployed overseas in direct service to the War on Terror from September 11, 2001 to a date to be determined. Prior to April 30, 2005 the medal was awarded for service within Iraq and Afghanistan, but has been replaced with the Iraq Campaign Medal and Afghanistan Campaign Medal and now serves primarily as recognition for personnel who have deployed in support of the War on Terror to locations beyond Iraq and Afghanistan.

To be awarded the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, a military service member must perform duty in a deployed status and must participate in designated anti-terrorism operation for a period of either 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days of duty. For those who were engaged in combat, killed, or wounded in the line of the duty the time requirement is waived.

The term "deployed status" indicates either temporary or permanent orders to a duty station outside the borders of the United States of America with such duty being in direct support of anti-terrorism operations. For a service member to receive the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, the deployment must also have taken place in a nation which is currently recognized as a base for anti-terrorism operations by the United States Department of Defense.

Currently, the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal may be awarded for approved operations performed in any of the following geographical areas:

The initial operations for which the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal is authorized include Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Future operations for which the GWOT Expeditionary Medal may be authorized are at the discretion of United States component commanders upon approval from the Department of Defense.

On April 30, 2005 the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal was discontinued for service within Iraq and Afghanistan, such service now being recognized with the Iraq Campaign Medal and Afghanistan Campaign Medal. Personnel who received the GWOTEM for previous service in these two regions may elect to exchange the GWOTEM or retain the original decoration. Future service within Iraq and Afghanistan, however, will be recognized only by the award of the new Iraq and Afghanistan service medals.

The Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal is a one time only decoration. Service stars may be authorized by component commanders for those who participated in extremely dangerous combat operations while performing service entitling them to the GWOT Expeditionary Medal. The Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal may be awarded with the Arrowhead device for qualified soldiers. The Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal may be awarded with the combat operation insignia for qualified sailors assigned to Marine Corps units. The War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal was designed by John Sproston of the Army's Institute of Heraldry.

CDV PHOTO CIVIL WAR SOLDIER 7TH PA RESERVES 36TH INF #11

Today I am listing individual photographs all from one group purchased recently in Carlisle Pennsylvania. They were all in one Civil War Photograh Album. All are members of the 7th Pennsylvania Reserves (36th Infantry). All of the photographs have Alexandria Va. back marks and were taken during the period of 1863 and early 1864 (see history below). I am also listing a photograph of the Regimental Flag belonging to the 7th Pennsylvania reserves, a photograph of General Meade and another of Andrew Curtin, Governor of Pennsylvania.

Organized in Washington July 27 1861 for a three year term. Brigadier General George G. Meade commanding.

Just some highlights of this regiment are: Mechanicsville, Gaines Mills where they were in the thick of the fight, Charles City Crossroads, Malvern Hill, Second Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam where they suffered heavy losses, Fredericksburg where they fought gallantly, piercing the lines of Stonewall Jackson's corps, shattering three brigades and the capturing of the flag of the 19th Ga. by Corp. Jacob Cart of Carlisle Pa. Jacob Cart later received a medal of honor for his bravery.

On Dec. 17, 1862, the regiment went into winter quarters at Belle Plain, but left them to join in the "Mud March," and in Feb., 1863, was ordered to Washington for rest and to recruit. It remained at or near Alexandria throughout that year and the first months of the following year, and then joined the Army of the Potomac in the Wilderness campaign.

During the Wilderness campaign, on May 5th, 1864, the 7th Pennsylvania Reserves were cut off from the rest of the army, surrounded and forced to surrender. Only a small portion of the regiment managed to escape. Some of the remaining members were transferred to the 190th Pa Infantry. The bulk of this heroic regiment finished the war suffering in the rebel prisons, many were in Andersonville.

The regiment was mustered out at Philadelphia on June 16, 1864. Few returned for muster out. I read the numbers were only about 60 men out of more than 1000 men.

Some of the images are identified, some are not. I tried to find a photograph of Jacob Cart and I could not. I do know he lived until the 1880's. There has to be an existing photograph of him. Could he be in this group? George W. Palmer (one of the identified soldiers in the group) is buried in the Trindle Springs Lutheran Cemetery In Silver Spring Twp. near Carlisle. I found 6 more members of the 7th Pennsylvania Reserves buried in the same cemetery. I wonder if any of the unidentifed soldiers died in Andersonville or if they survived. I believe further research might put a name on some of the faces. Perhaps some of the regimental histories books in this area have some photos etc.

Ricketts."  Ricketts distinguished himself as an artillery officer in the Civil War (Battery F, Penn. Light Artillery), and is best known for his battery’s defense against a Confederate attack on Cemetery Hill the 2nd day of the Battle of Gettysburg! There are some sticker remains on the front board, some on the spine,  and a library slip in the rear, some rubbing to volume edges and corners otherwise a very nice and attractive book not usually found in such clean condition. A great refernce with a truly legendary Signature. Good luck! More about Ricketts below:

Robert Bruce Ricketts distinguished himself as an artillery officer in the American Civil War. He is best known for his battery’s defense against a Confederate attack on Cemetery Hill on the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg.

Elijah Ricketts was a merchant and farmer in Orangeville in Columbia County, Pennsylvania. He married Margaret Leigh Lockart (1810–1891) in 1830. Robert Bruce Ricketts was the fifth of nine children of this union, and the fifth son, born on April 29, 1839. An older brother, William Wallace Ricketts (b. 1837), attended the United States Military Academy; but he died in 1862. Bruce Ricketts was educated at the Wyoming Seminary near Wilkes-Barre. When the war broke out, he was studying law and considering the possibility of a university education.

The First Pennsylvania Light Artillery (otherwise known as the 43rd Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers) was organized in 1861. The regiment left for Washington, D. C. in August of that year. Battery F was formed under Capt Ezra W. Matthews. Bruce Ricketts joined the service on July 8, as a private of that year, and he was commissioned as first lieutenant in that battery about a month later. The regiment was split, up with individual batteries serving with different divisions of the Army of the Potomac. Battery F first saw combat at the Battle of Dranesville on December 20, 1861. Ricketts’ section had one gun disabled in that action. Later the section served in the defense of Hancock, Maryland against a foray by Stonewall Jackson.

Battery F served in the Army of Virginia in the corps of Major General Irwin McDowell, joining it on March 21, 1862 at Warrenton, Virginia. In that context it was involved, under Ricketts’ leadership, in a reconnaissance expedition to Rappahannock Station, Virginia, that left on April 7, of that year. This force advanced and then withdrew, having accomplished its information-gathering purpose. Thereafter the battery was involved in the campaign culminating in the Second Battle of Bull Run. Battery F was seriously engaged in the Battle of Cedar Mountain on August 8, helping McDowell cover the retreat of the corps of Major General Nathaniel Banks. The battery helped defend Henry House Hill at Second Bull Run, and it was present at the Battle of Chantilly though not engaged. It also participated in the “artillery hell” of the Battle of Antietam. Lt Ricketts missed most of these actions while serving on recruiting duty. He returned to the Army of the Potomac on September 23, 1862.

Ricketts commanded Battery F, First Pennsylvania Light Artillery from then on until the summer of 1864. Capt Matthews went down ill and did not return to battery command. Lt Ricketts was engaged with his guns at the Battle of Fredericksburg, serving with second division I Corps under Major General John F. Reynolds. When Capt Matthews was promoted to the rank of major, Ricketts became a captain on March 14, 1863. At the Battle of Chancellorsville Capt Ricketts’ battery was with Major General Abner Doubleday’s third division I Corps.

Ricketts’ battery was - beginning on May 13, 1863 - in the third volunteer brigade of the Reserve Artillery under Captain James F. Huntington. Battery G, First Pennsylvania Light Artillery, was attached to Ricketts’ battery a few weeks before the Battle of Gettysburg, on June 1, 1863. This merger was resented until gunners from Battery G were permitted to form a section of the consolidated battery. This merger took place while the army was marching north in pursuit of the Army of Northern Virginia, beginning on May 15.

Ricketts’ battery arrived in Gettysburg on the Taneytown Road on the morning of July 2, 1863 and replaced Capt James H. Cooper's Battery B, First Pennsylvania Light Artillery, on East Cemetery Hill about 4:00 PM. It was exposed to enfilade fire from Benner’s Hill and Seminary Ridge. Around nightfall, two Confederate brigades from the division of Major General Jubal Early attacked the hill. It broke the thin Union front line at the foot of the hill in two places. In other places they were repelled. Some Confederates reached the top of the hill, and one group attacked the left of Ricketts’ battery, trying to spike the guns. The fight for the guns became hand to hand, but the Confederates were unable to capture the whole battery. Eventually Union reinforcements from the II Corps brigade of Col Samuel S. Carroll drove the Confederates down hill. A monument to the battery stands in the general location of their fight.[1]

After the battle, Ricketts criticized Adelbert Ames' division of XI Corps, although he probably could not see what was going on down there at the foot of the hill.[2] He thought they fled unnecessarily. Ricketts’ account of the action makes it look as if his battery stood alone for an extended time.[3] However, a less colorful account by a modern historian shows that some of the XI Corps troops had rallied and stood fast atop Cemetery Hill even before reinforcements from Col Samuel S. Carroll’s brigade of II Corps came up behind Ricketts’ position.[4]

After Gettysburg, Ricketts’ battery F was transferred to the artillery brigade of II Corps in time for the Bristoe Campaign. At the Second Battle of Auburn on October 14, 1863, the battery helped first division II Corps cover the withdrawal of the corps under harassing fire from horse artillery of Major General J. E. B. Stuart’s command.[5] At the Battle of Bristoe Station later that day, Ricketts’ battery F came up at a gallop and unlimbered behind BG Alexander S. Webb’s second division II Corps. Their fire helped defeat Major General Henry Heth’s attack on the federal line.[6] The battery was given the privilege of presenting captured Confederate guns to Major General George G. Meade, the commanding general.

Ricketts’ battery remained with the II Corps for the Overland Campaign. During the Battle of the Wilderness, a section of Ricketts’ battery advanced on the Plank Road with Major General Winfield Scott Hancock’s attack on the Confederate lines on May 5, 1864 at about 3:30 PM. The section accompanied BG George Getty’s division of VI Corps, serving with Hancock at that time. A Confederate counterattack captured the section, but Col Samuel S. Carroll’s brigade recaptured the guns by 6:00 PM.[7] BG Getty praised Ricketts for his "great coolness and courage" in this action.[8]

Ricketts was engaged in support of Grant's offensive attacks on the Confederate positions in the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House on May 18, 1864, being moved up close to the captured Confederate works.[9] He also supported Hancock's attack on Henagan's redoubt at the Battle of North Anna on May 23.[10] The battery remained with II Corps throughout the remainder of the campaign, except at the Battle of Cold Harbor, when it was detached to serve with XVIII Corps on June 3,.[11]

Ricketts' battery crossed the James River with II Corps and participated in the Second Battle of Petersburg. Battery F fired some of the first federal shots into the beleaguered city. Ricketts' guns were on the battle front for two weeks until they were relieved by a battery from V Corps.[12]

During the subsequent Siege of Petersburg, Capt Ricketts was promoted to higher ranks in the First Pennsylvania Light Artillery. When Major James H. Cooper reached the expiration of his term of service on August 8, 1864, Ricketts was named his successor. When, in 1865, Colonel R. M. West was commissioned colonel of the Fifth Pennsylvania Cavalry, Major Ricketts was promoted to the rank of colonel in his place to date from March 15.[13]

During the early stages of the siege, Ricketts continued in command of his battery with II Corps. This included a role supporting BG Gershom Mott's division in the Second Battle of Deep Bottom.[14] After returning to the Petersburg front, the battery was assigned to positions near the Jerusalem Plank Road. During this period, Captain Ricketts presided over a court of inquiry into the loss of a gun at the Second Battle of Ream's Station. He also served on a board deciding which units could add the names of particular battles to their flags.[15] In December 1864, Cpt Ricketts, as "acting major," commanded the II Corps batteries serving on the lines of IX Corps for a period of three weeks.[16]

In 1865, Ricketts played a role in the Artillery Reserve; and, by the spring of 1865 he was assistant chief of artillery of IX Corps. Whenever the chief of artillery, Colonel John C. Tidball, was absent, Ricketts took charge of the guns of IX Corps in his place.[17]

The report that a Confederate veteran looked at Ricketts, a slight man, and commented, "And did this little cuss command Battery Hell!," may be apocryphal.[18]

After the war, Colonel Ricketts, with his father and an uncle, began buying timber land in Columbia, Luzerne and Sullivan counties. By 1873, they had ca. 66,000 acres (270 km2). In 1872 Ricketts and partners opened a saw mill. He used his own lumber to build North Mountain House at Ganoga Lake in the area where he had his timber lands. The house took guests until 1903, when it became his family’s summer home. Ricketts’ interests suffered financial hardship in the years 1883 to 1885, and he had to sell off much of his land.

Col Ricketts married Elizabeth Reynolds in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on October 1, 1868. They had three children: William Reynolds (1869–1956); Jean Holberton (1873–1929), and Frances Leigh (1881–1970). Lakes Jean and Leigh are named for their two daughters.

Ricketts belonged to the Grand Army of the Republic and the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States. The colonel was politically active too. He supported Major General Winfield Scott Hancock for president in 1880.[19]

At his death on November 14, 1918, at Ganoga Lake, Ricketts still owned about 80,000 acres (320 km2) around Red Rock Mountain, including Ganoga Lake (or Long Pond) and Lake Jean. Columbia, Luzerne & Sullivan Counties. Col Ricketts was buried nearby.[1] His heirs sold much of this timber land to the state of Pennsylvania via the Central Penn Lumber Company 1920-1924. This land became the nucleus of Ricketts Glen State Park.

War of the Rebellion - Battle of Chickamauga Official Records 1890 in 4 Vols

 "The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies" Prepared, Under the Direction of the Secretary of War, By Lieut. Col. Robert N. Scott, Third U.S. Artillery, and Published Pursuant to Act of Congress Approved June 16, 1880. Series I - Volume XXX in Four Parts (Part I, Part II, Part III & Part IV are all present and in this lot). Washington: Government Printing Office, 1890. First Edition. THIS IS NOT A REPRINT!!

Rather than selling the individual books and separating each "Volume", we will be offering them complete with all their parts. The original complete set of Series I was 53 volumes, but some of the volumes consisted of up to 5 parts (books), they were released over the years and Series I ended around 1898-9, but then there were more records found, thus there was a Series II which followed this into the early twentieth century. This lot consists of: Part I and Part II being the reports. Part III & Part IV being the correspondence.

As alluded in the title, these books are quite literally the orders, correspondence, reports, etc., of both the Union and Confederate Armies, and thus documents and records, with no bias, the literal events as they unfolded in real time on the battlefield. Most of these reports were made in the days following the occurrences, while the memories were still fresh, not the re-hashed and well-thought out reminiscences of the major players in their twilight years.

Each volume lists the contents of all of the preceding volumes, and has the summary of all of the principle events included in the current volume. The "Reports" section is loaded with organizational data and charts, etc.,  scattered through all of the documents. The reports also serve to cite and recognize distinguished services of individuals, organizations, as well as describing events, needs, plans, and proposals.

Please note this four book set serves to document the now legendary and epical "Battle of Chickamauga" which made and broke many military, political and personal careers. General Thomas's (The Rock of Chickamauga) defensive strategy is still studied at West Point, he was in a hopeless situation, assumed command, picked his ground, and turned a panic-fueled retreat into a controlled withdrawal, thus saving an army.

Operations in Kentucky, Southwest Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi, North Alabama and North Georgia August 11 thru October 1863

Following are some of the battles, campaigns, events which are covered in this particular volume (there are far too many to list them all):

Raid on the Mississippi Central Railroad from the Big Black River, Miss. to Memphis Tenn, with skirmishes at Payne's Plantation near Granada Miss....Expeditions from PaducahThe East Tennessee CampaignExpedition from Fort Pillow to Jackson Tenn.Skirmishes at Summertown and Lookout Mountain TennSkirmishes in front of ChattanoogaExpedition from Messinger's Ford, Big Black River, to Yazoo City, MissExpedition from Corinth Miss. into West Tennessee with skirmish at Swallow Bluffs TennChalmer's Raid in West Tennessee and North MississippiMajor-General U.S. Grant assumes command of the military division of the MississippiChickamauga Campaign

and much, much more.

Some of the correspondents who are documented in this work are:

President Abraham LincolnU.S. GrantWilliam Tecumseh ShermanJefferson C. DavisJ.A. GarfieldW.S. RosecransLorenzo ThomasGeneral George H. ThomasMajor-General Gordon GrangerFrank S. BondMajor-General BurnsideGeneral HalleckE.M. StantonC.A. DanaThomas J. WoodJohn T. WilderGeorge P. BuellE.H. HobsonNathan Bedford ForrestJerome B. Robertson - C.S. ArmyGeneral Benjamin G. HumphreysGeneral Joseph WheelerGeneral Joseph HookerThomas C. HindmanWilliam H. JacksonMajor General Sam JonesBrig-General Shackelford

and many, many others.

The above are just a sampling gleaned from the pages of this work and gives just a small flavor of what can be found in this work. What makes it  truly remarkable, is that these are the actual orders and reports from the field and not not the politcally correct intrepretation of an academic who wouldn't know the difference between a parrot gun and a mortar. This is what really occurred, it does this fairly to both sides, both North and South and puts more humanity to these events than any other book or document ever will.

The index to this work is quite an achievement, you have to remember this was before computers and the capacity to have everything cross referenced, not only the recipients or authors of the documents, but also mention of third parties are included from the text. After you review the index, you will understand why this set was years in its' compilation and released over a 30 year span.

This is an invaluable tool for the researcher, historian, or Civil War buff, and in these new bindings, these books should be around for at least another hundred plus years.

Condition: These ex-libris books and its (1166)+(942)+(1110)+(858)  pages is in excellent condition, the pages exhibit modest toning, there is no noteworthy foxing, soiling, damp-staining to the pages. The bindings are new, the hinges covers and spine cover are all new, all of which is well represented in scans below. This is the original 1890 book in brand new bindings and covers, however, the books appear to have been bound at two different book makers and the spine text and shape is different on one of the four. This is probably the reason we were able to get these in such great condition and offer them at such a low price. There is a "mock-up"  of the text requested on each title page, but none of them are what they ordered.

The following information was taken from the Wikipedia:

Horace Greeley (February 3, 1811 – November 29, 1872) was an American newspaper editor, a founder of the Liberal Republican Party, a reformer, and a politician. His New York Tribune was America's most influential newspaper from the 1840s to the 1870s and "established Greeley's reputation as the greatest editor of his day." Greeley used it to promote the Whig and Republican parties, as well as opposition to slavery and a host of reforms ranging from vegetarianism to socialism.

Crusading against the corruption of Ulysses S. Grant's Republican administration, he was the new Liberal Republican Party's candidate in the 1872 U.S. presidential election. Despite having the additional support of the Democratic Party, he lost in a landslide. He is currently the only presidential candidate to have died prior to the counting of electoral votes.....

1862 CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA Civil War Confederacy CSA Battle of BULL RUN

THE
C.S.A
AND THE
BATTLE OF BULL RUN


PRESENTED FOR AUCTION is the original 1862 First Edition of “The C.S.A. and the Battle of Bull Run” by J.G. Barnard. Published by D. Van Nostrand: New York. The book measures 6 1/4 x 9 1/4" and is complete with All Pages.

JOHN GROSS BARNARD was a career-engineering officer in the U.S. Army, and served as a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War. From 1861 to 1862, he served as Chief Engineer of the Army of the Potomac.

WHEN THE UNION ARMY moved into Northern Virginia on May 24, 1861, Barnard oversaw the erection of fortifications on the Arlington hills. He accompanied the Army to Manassas in July 1861 and was present at the Union defeat at the First Battle of Bull Run (Manassas), where he recounts his experience here in, The C.S.A. and The Battle of Bull Run.

KNOWN FOR BEING THE FIRST MAJOR land battle of the American Civil War, the Battle of Bull Run made known that the contest was to be a war, not a “sixty day” riot. Bernard wanted to vindicate the battle of Bull Run from the disgrace that had failed upon it, and to establish a claim for it in the category of well-planned and well-fought battles.

AS SENIOR ENGINEER to General McDowell, Bernard provides a brief narrative of the General as well as a condensed view of official report of the commanding officer. The Appendix shows the various routes and panics, showing the turns and tides of the battle and various “routes and panics” used to win the battle.

HOWEVER, THIS VOLUME is best known for it’s highly detailed civil war maps in which ALL 5 MAPS ARE PRESENT. These are the field maps that accompanied General McDowell that gives the topography of the battles with much accuracy. As a whole, The C.S.A. and The Battle of Bull Run shows a first hand in depth account of one of the most important battles of the Civil War. 

The book's overall condition is VERY GOOD: A tightly bound copy with mostly clean pages, all maps present, maps in great shape for age. A very scarce volume in excellent shape for age.
