‎A Scythe of Fire : A Civil War Story of the Eighth Georgia Regiment‎

‎New York: William Morrow 2002. Remainder mark on bottom edge. Otherwise a bright shiny clean square tight unmarked copy. Not a book club edition. Not price clipped 27.95. No owner's name or bookplate. Illustrated. "This is one of the best possibly the very best Civil War regimental history ever written. By reading it one can discover what it was like to march and fight live and die as a Confederate soldier." - Albert Castel. From the Dust Jacket: "The men of the Eighth Georgia Infantry Regiment answered the Confederate call to arms in the spring of 1861 virtually at the moment that war was declared. They came from all corners of the state some dressed in mismatched homemade uniforms others in tailored finery. Proud and defiant convinced that 'one Southerner could whip ten Yankees' they plunged into the murderous heat of battle at Bull Run. Years later after enduring battles in Maryland at Gettysburg and throughout East Tennessee and the bloody horror of the Wilderness - their ranks severely depleted by winter and sickness and Union cannon shot and sword - they were at Appomattox to witness the ultimate defeat of their beloved homeland. Few men saw more hard fighting than those of the Eighth Georgia and their remarkable story is the history of the South at war… Based on personal accounts diaries letters and other primary sources here is a tale of bravery and fortitude; the true story of fighting men united by an intense love of their land and devotion to a way of life… A Scythe of Fire is the history of the Eighth Georgia as experienced by those who carried its standard into battle: doctors and farmers land owners and simple folk each dedicated to victory yet proud and unbroken in the face of defeat. It is a vivid unforgettable and profoundly human story of hope folly loyalty and courage that will stand among the most acclaimed chronicles of the nation's bloodiest and most terrible epoch."

‎New Jerseyans in the Civil War: For Union and Liberty‎

The Dust Jacket is protected by a Brodart clear-plastic sleeve. Text pages are clean. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Illustrated with 19 maps charts portraits prints and photographs. Bound in the original blue cloth lettered in shiny silver on the spine. From the Dust Jacket: "The Civil War divided New Jersey just as it did the nation. As a small state sandwiched between two large and powerful neighbors New Jersey had always enthusiastically supported the creation of a strong central government. On the other hand many New Jersey citizens did not share the anti-slavery sentiments of the North; they supported property rights of slave owners and believed in the natural inferiority of blacks. Subsequently when southern states began to secede from the Union to form the Confederacy New Jerseyans were left divided and confused. William J. Jackson examines the ironies paradoxes and contradictions that characterized New Jersey's unique historical role in the war. His book is the first to examine the role this state played in context of the entire Civil War. It is also the only book to incorporate social and political history with that of military history and issues. Civil War aficionados and historians will welcome Jackson's analysis of the participation of New Jersey African Americans on the home front and in the military.". First Edition. Hardcover.

From the Dust Jacket: "This book is essentially the biography of the Alabama -- how she came to be her mission her cruises and her destruction. Under the command of Captain Raphael Semmes the Alabama wreaked havoc on the flow of food and military supplies to the North with devastating raids on both sides of the Atlantic as well as the Gulf of Mexico. The U.S. government considered the ship a major obstacle to Union victory and spared no effort in its attempts to locate and dispose of her. This eventually led to the dramatic confrontation between the USS Kearsarge and the Alabama off Cherbourg France while many French citizens looked on from the shore. The Alabama was sunk ending the career of a ship that became legendary. By far the most inclusive thorough book yet written on this famous American warship it chronicles everything from construction to destruction as well as her recent salvage. The author details shipboard life from the perspectives of both officers and seamen and recounts the Alabama's triumphs frustrations and deterioration from continued operation as well as world opinion of her and more. He includes material on the discovery of the wreck off Cherbourg in the 1980s and the subsequent controversy over rights to the ship and the archaeological investigation.". First printing so stated.

‎[CIVIL WAR; WEST POINT]; [STUART, JEB; LEE, GEORGE WASHINGTON CUSTIS; MYER, ALBERT J.; LEE, STEPHEN D.; WEBB, ALEXANDER STEWART]‎

‎USMA West Point Class of 1854 Signatures. WITH: Original Ink-Drawn Map and Watercolor View‎

‎n.pl: n.p. n.d. First edition. Very Good. A CLASS DIVIDED: A UNIQUE COLLECTION OF SIGNATURES OF WEST POINT ALUMNI SOON TO BE DIVIDED BY THE CIVIL WAR. <br /> <br /> WITH: FINELY DRAWN INK MAP OF WEST POINT BY ALEXANDER STEWART WEBB AND ELEGANT WATERCOLOR VIEW. <br /> <br /> FROM THE COLLECTION OF JEB STUART. The Signatures:<br /> <br /> The present collection includes two large displays of signatures on sheets featuring numerous small boxes printed onto them filled in by each individual with their name and a location perhaps their current residences. The effect these documents give is the impression of an informal assortment of hand-written calling cards amassed after a social function of West Point alumni. Predominately the sheets are signed by most of the Class of 1854 a fateful group who were soon be divided by the impending Civil War. Beyond this outstanding group other graduating classes are represented as well as certain individuals who were not graduates of the USMA but no less salient figures of wartime America-including Albert J. Myer inventor of wigwag signalling and James Wiley Magoffin lessor for the land upon which Fort Bliss would be built.<br /> <br /> The terminus ad quem for the collection of signatures is most likely 1854 the earliest death of any signee in this case John L. Grattan who died after encountering Sioux troops in the Dakota Territory. Yet a number of signees are from later graduating classes-so either if the signatures were assembled all on one date these individuals were still current students or possibly these sheets represents a longer project of collecting the signatures. <br /> The providences of those who signed these papers alone reflect the many sacrifices made by the servicemen. Michael Ryan Morgan Class of '54 survived the War retired in 1897 and lived to be nearly 80 and Albert J. Myer lived on to propagate his widely-successful wig-wag flag signalling system across the world. William Dorsey Pender and Stephen Hinsdale Weed both Class of '54 perished as so many did at Gettysburg in the early days of July 1863-only three decades of age each. John T. Magruder Class '57 by solemn contrast was killed only one year after his graduation from West Point; the Sacramento Daily Union edition of 17 August 1858 published the notice:<br /> <br /> Information has been received of the sudden death of Lieut. Magruder of Washington City while on his way to Great Salt Lake with the Utah army. His death was caused by another man a quarrel having arose between them which resulted in the shooting of Lieut. Magruder. His parents reside at Washington.<br /> <br /> Yet unlike his peers who would shortly be fractionalised among the Union and Confederate armies Magruder never knew the domestic horror of the Civil War-neither the extent of violence on American soil nor the growing schism between his fellow class-men.<br /> <br /> An enumeration of each of the 53 signees is provided below along with brief biographical details.<br /> <br /> Two West Point Illustrations from Signed JEB Stuart Scrapbook - A Fine Map in Ink by Alexander Stewart Webb and a Watercolour Study:<br /> <br /> In a largely dilapidated scrapbook owned by JEB Stuart signed faintly in pencil "JEB Stuart June 1853" the summer between his Junior and Senior years at West Point two impressive illustrations have been preserved.<br /> The first is a topographic map in ink by Alexander Stewart Webb Class of '55 JEB Stuart's underclassman by one year. Brevetted Brigidier General and Major General on 13 March 1865 Webb was recognised "for gallant and meritorious services in the campaign terminating with the surrender of the insurgent army under Gen. Lee." and his wartime letters are now held at Yale University's Beinecke Library see "Webb Samuel Blatchley" in Appleton p. 403. The present drawing possibly depicting an aerial view of either Trophy Point or Constitution Island is remarkable for the meticulous line shading to capture the region's elevation and natural features.<br /> <br /> The second illustration a miniature watercolour study in sepia offers a scenic view from the Plain at Trophy Point overlooking the water with Constitution off to the right in the background. Signed "Merrill" it is feasibly by Lewis Merrill Class of '55 based on proximity to JEB Stuart's time at West Point but this is uncertain.<br /> Both of these images from JEB Stuart's personal collection capture the natural beauty and early history of USMA West Point.<br /> <br /> ___________<br /> <br /> West Point signature displays c. 1854. 2 pages on 2 folia 13 x 10¾ in; framed: 23 x 20 ¾ in.
