In referring to Bradley's "An Improved Spelling Book" similar in format to this one and published the same year Nietz informs us that "this book was different from many others in several respects. First Bradley frankly acknowledged that 'the extracts have been taken from Webster Wood Picket Alden Bingham Flint Murray Hubbard Fordyce Walker the American Gentleman's Pronouncing Dictionary Dr. Johnson Dr. Morse and Dr. Blair all authors of spellers.'

2021réf. acs1319California: Savas Beatie 2021. Revised full-color edition. Octavo black boards hardcover gilt lettering xx 363 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket As New. From dust jacket: After multiple editions and printings the bestselling Maps of Gettysburg is available for the first time in a full-color edition. More books pamphlets articles and photographic accounts of the Gettysburg Campaign exist than for all other campaigns of the Civil War combined. Despite this extensive coverage the campaign is still one of the most complex and difficult to understand. Bradley Gottfried’s The Maps of Gettysburg: An Atlas of the Gettysburg Campaign June 3 - July 13 1863 offers a thorough and unique approach to the study of this multifaceted campaign. Robert E. Lee launched his second invasion of the North on the heels of Chancellorsville his greatest battlefield victory of the war. Many believed that what was at stake would ultimately determine the outcome of the Civil War. The extensive campaign that followed stretched from June 3 until July 13 1863 and included the clearing of the Shenandoah Valley Second Winchester Stephenson’s Depot Jeb Stuart’s controversial cavalry raid and a series of wide-ranging cavalry battles including Brandy Station Westminster and Carlisle three days of intense combat around the town of Gattysburg from crops-size actions to small-unit engagements and the long retreat south to the Potomac River. Unlike any other book on the subject The Maps of Gettysburg plows new ground by breaking down the entire operation into thirty map sets or “action-sections” enriched with 144 detailed full-page maps comprising the entire campaign. These cartographic originals bore down to the regimental and battery level. They include the march to and from the battlefield and virtually every significant event in between. Savas Beatie, 2021.

From dust jacket: The Maps of the Bristoe Station and Mine Run Campaigns is the fifth installment in the Savas Beatie Military Atlas Series. Few historians have examined what happened to the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of the Potomac during the critical months following Gettysburg when both armies assumed the offensive in a pair of fascinating campaigns of thrust and counter-thrust. This careful study breaks down these campaigns and all related to operational maneuvers into 13 map sets or “action sections” enriched with 87 original full-page color maps. These spectacular cartographic creations bore down to the regimental and battery level. Savas Beatie, 2013. First Edition. The fifth volume of The Savas Beatie Military Atlas Series. hardcover books

From dust jacket: This latest magisterial work breaks down the entire campaign and all related operational maneuvers into 24 map sets or “action-sections” enriched with 120 original full-page color maps. These spectacular cartographic creations bore down to the regimental and battery level. The Maps of the Wilderness includes an assessment of the winter of 1863-1864 the planning for the campaign the crossing of the Rapidan River and two days of bloody combat and the day of watchful stalemate thereafter. At least one -- and as many as eight -- maps accompany each action-section.” Opposite each map is a full facing page of detailed footnoted text describing the units personalities movements and combat including quotes from eyewitnesses depicted on the accompanying map all of which make the story of the first large-scale combat of 1864 come alive. Each cartographic snapshot also serves to unlock everything ever written on the subject. This detailed coverage also includes an order of battle bibliography and an index. This original presentation leads readers on a journey through the epic battle that would prove to be the opening salvo in a prolonged fight that would not end until the Confederates surrendered at Appomattox in April 1865. The Wilderness Campaign has two unique characteristics. First although he did not command the Army of the Potomac the battle was Ulysses S. Grant’s first against General Robert E Lee. Second the Wilderness fighting -- prolonged bloody and inconclusive -- is widely viewed as the most confusing action of the entire war. The dense thickets and deep smoke obscured much of what occurred during the two days of combat. Gottfried’s book cuts through the confusion to deliver a clear account of the horrendous struggle.

2023réf. acs1325California: Savas Beatie 2023. First Edition. Octavo black boards hardcover gilt lettering xx 363 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket As New. From dust jacket: After three years of bloody combat in Virginia President Abraham Lincoln promoted Ulysses S. Grant to general-in-chief in early 1865. Grant immediately went to work planning a comprehensive strategy to bring an end to the war. He hungered to remain with the Western armies but realized his place was in Washington. Unwilling to be stuck in an office Grant joined George Meade’s Army of the Potomac. His presence complicated Meade’s ability to direct his army but Grant promised to stay out of his way and give only strategic directives. This arrangement lasted through the Wilderness Campaign the first action in what is now referred to as the “Overland Campaign.” This book continues the actions of both armies through the completion of the Overland Campaign. After the Wilderness fighting the Army of the Potomac attempted to swing around the right flank of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia and shoot straight for Richmond. The Confederate capital was never the goal; the move was intended to force Lee out into the open where the larger and well-stocked Union army could destroy it. The head of Lee’s army blunted the enemy at Spotsylvania Court House where both sides dug in. Days and men were wasted on fruitless attacks until Col. Emery Upton designed an audacious strike that temporarily penetrated Lee’s works. A much larger offensive against the “Mule Shoe” two days later tore the line open destroyed a Rebel division and triggered a long day of fighting. More fighting convinced Grant of the folly of further attempts to crush Lee at Spotsylvania and again he swung around the Rebel right flank. The march ignited almost continuous fighting at the North Anna Bethesda Church and Cold Harbor where this volume ends. This study includes the various cavalry actions including those at Spotsylvania Court House Yellow Tavern Haw’s Tavern and Matadequin Creek. The Maps of Spotsylvania through Cold Harob breaks down the entire operation into thirty-five map sets or “action sections” enriched with 134 detailed full-page color maps. These cartographic originals bore down to the regimental and battery level and include the march to and from the battlefields and virtually every significant event in each map set. Keyed to each piece of cartography is a full facing page of detailed footnoted text describing the units personalities movements and combat including quotes from eyewitnesses depicted on the accompanying map all of which make the Spotsylvania story come alive.

2025réf. acs1324California: Savas Beatie 2025. First Edition. Signed by the Author. Octavo black boards hardcover gilt lettering xiv 305 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket As New. From dust jacket: President Abraham Lincoln’s frustration with George B. McClellan’s inability to defeat Robert E. Lee and capture Richmond dramatically increased after the unsuccessful Seven Days’ Battles. In response Lilncoln combined three small armies into the new Army of Virginia and placed it under Maj. Gen. John Pope who had overseen several successes in the Western Theater. Pope’s aggressiveness and McClellan’s passivity on the Peninsula convinced Lee to send Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson’s wing of the Army of Northern Virginia to confront Pope. A bloody battle at Cedar Mountain on August 9 halted Pope’s move south and Jackson’s raid on the vast stores at Manassas Junction triggered another confrontation this time at Kettle Run. When McClellan’s troops abandoned the Peninsula Lee moved his other wing under James Lonstreet rapidly north. Pope missed an opportunity to prevent the junction of Lee’s wings by not stopping Longstreet at Thoroughfare Gap. The battle of Second Bull Run began on the evening of August 28 when Jackson tangled with Union troops at the Brawner Farm. Pope spent much of the next day hammering Jackson’s front with no idea that Longstreet was arriving on the field. The Union assaults continued on August 30 until Longstreet launched a massive assault that rolled up the Union left flank and collapsed Pope’s army. The retreat was briefly interrupted by some of Jackson's units at Chantilly which ended the campaign. The Maps of Second Bull Run plows new ground by breaking down the entire campaign into 24 map sets or “action sections” enriched the 122 detailed full-page color maps. These cartographic originals bore down to the regimental and battery level. They include the march and to and from the battlefields and virtually every significant event in between including cavalry actions. At least two -- and as many as ten -- maps accompany each map set. Keyed to each piece of cartography is a full-facing page of detailed text describing the units personalities movements and combat including quotes from eyewitnesses depicted on the accompanying map all of which make the cavalry actions come alive.

Quarto black cloth hardcover gilt letters xviii 446 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: WElcome to the world of Civil War medicine. Although there has been a recent resurgence of interest in the American Civil War to this point very little information exists on the medical and surgical aspects of the Civil War. George A. Otis M.D. the Second Curator of the Army Medical Museum collected 400 photographs of soldier injuries and anatomical specimens from 1865 - 1881. He compiled them into eight volumes each containing 50 photographs with corresponding case histories. These original volumes however had a very limited circulation and very few complete sets still exist. This atlas presents all 400 photographs and case histories from Otis’ original volumes along with over 100 additional photographs compiled into one book. Unavailable for over 100 years these photographs provide a graphic representation of the incredible sacrifice soldiers from both sides of the conflict made for a cause in which they so fervently believed. By reading these soldier stories and examining their wounds the War suddenly becomes a very real and personal experience . One that you cannot distance yourself from easily. Included in this work is an informative description of Otis’ life and the historical progression of the Army Medical Museum by Michael Rhode. Following an in-depth preface describing the state of medicine at the onset of the War individual photographs and cases bring to life the personal experiences injured soldiers faced. Aslo included is an extensive index tabulating the personal and regimental information of the soldiers the battle in which they were injured and the outcome of their treatement. With the use of an educational glossary both the medically-educated and non-medical reader will gain an increased appreciation for medical and surgical care during the War. After reading this atlas our views of the American Civil War have forever been changed. We think yours will be also. Medical Staff Press, L.C.C., (1996). First Edition. hardcover books
1894réf. 5083bdBoston: Roberts Brothers 1894. Octavo burgundy cloth & green illustrated boards hardcover illus. frontis. 82 pp. Interior upper hinge broken; binding still sound; light edgewear. Illustrated throughout. From story: Little Tommy sat on the doorsteps before his house one summer’s day and the hot sun streamed down over him in a flood. Tommy was very glad however to be so warm for he was just recovering from a long illness and was so pale and thin that the sun seemed only to put life and strength into him and to do him no harm whatever. The little boy was dressed in a suit of blue clothes just like those of a sailor with anchors of white braid on the shoulders with a large embroidered collar and with trousers very wide at the bottom. On his head was a wide-brimmed straw hat which surely was very unlike a sailor’s hat. Tommy however was not a sailor though there was no knowing what he might be later in life; as yet he had not launched his bark for a voyage of his own but had only been towed along in the wake of larger craft. In one chubby hand was carried a doll-like figure knitted from yarn stuffed with bran and adorned with fierce mustachios like a Spanish cavalier. This was Jock -- Tomy’s constant companion.
