Hardcover. 4to. Grey cloth with gilt spine lettering, pictorial dust jacket. 278pp. Fine/near fine. OK, it's the first volume ONLY of this 2-volume set and it's a second printing at that -- but it's as uncannily fresh as the day it was published, bright and lovely. In addition, tipped to front flyleaf is a 6½" X 3½" envelope inside of which is a snazzy Typed Note Signed from Nevins: 1p, 5½" X 8½", San Marino, CA, 23 June 1969. Addressed to Douglas C. Platt. Very good. On his personal letterhead thanks an admirer for writing, Nevins notes "I do not have photographs to send out" and suggests Columbia University's publicity department who "may have one to send you." Crabbed old age signature in black ballpoint. This is still THE single most useful Civil War bibliography and highly quotable, with a "Who's Who" of noted Civil War scholars providing the pithy annotations and observations. Nevins (1890-1971) was the prolific American historian awarded the Pulitzer Prize for "Ordeal of the Union" (1947-71).…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Second Printing. The format is approximately 8.75 inches by 11.25 inches. This is a 2 volume set. Volume One, ix, [1], 278 pages. Volume Two, ix, [1], 326 pages. Cumulative Index. These volumes are primarily printed in a two column format. The dust jackets have slight wear and soiling. "Published for the U.S. Civil War Centennial Commission". This is a large and heavy, two volume set and if sent outside of the United States would require additional shipping charges. This annotated, critical bibliography, prepared under the auspices of the United States Civil War Centennial Commission, has proven to be an invaluable reference for private and public collections. Nearly six thousand books have been included and fifteen historians have written brief commentaries on each book. Joseph Allan Nevins (May 20, 1890 - March 5, 1971) was an American historian and journalist, known for his extensive work on the history of the Civil War and his biographies of such figures as Grover Cleveland, Hamilton Fish, Henry Ford, and John D. Rockefeller, as well as his public service. He was a leading exponent of business history and oral history. Nevins wrote his first book, The Life of Robert Rogers (1914) (about a Colonial American frontiersman and Loyalist) and a history of the University of Illinois (1917) during his postgraduate studies in that institution. Nevins then accepted positions with the New York Evening Post and The Nation and worked as a journalist in New York City for twenty years, as well as continued writing and editing history books. In 1928, Nevins joined the history faculty of Columbia University, where he remained for three decades until his mandatory retirement in 1958. He established the country's first oral history program. During World War II, Professor Nevins served as special representative of the Office of War Information in Australia and New Zealand in 1943-1944, and in 1945-1946 worked in London as chief public affairs officer at the American embassy. After retiring from Columbia, Nevins relocated to California, where he worked as senior researcher at the Huntington Library in San Marino. Nevins headed the nation's Civil War Centennial Commission (1961-66) and helped to edit the commission's 15-volume Impact Series. James Irvin "Bud" Robertson Jr. (July 18, 1930 - November 2, 2019) was an American historian on the American Civil War and professor at Virginia Tech. Robertson was the founding executive director of the Virginia Center for Civil War Studies research and education center. He was considered the preeminent scholar on Confederate Lieutenant General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. Robertson was the Chief Historical Consultant in the 2003 Warner Brothers film Gods and Generals, which prominently features Stonewall Jackson. Robertson was also a member of the Board of Trustees at the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy nominated Robertson to serve as the executive director of the U.S. Civil War Centennial Commission, a federal committee that was foundering under the pressures of regional differences and the emerging civil rights movement, unable to organize a dignified commemoration of the war era. Robertson worked effectively with 34 state and 100 local centennial committees to create a successful result.[5] Fifty years later, he was named a charter member of the Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission. Bell Irvin Wiley (January 5, 1906 - April 4, 1980)[1] was an American historian who specialized in the American Civil War and was an authority on military history and the social history of common people. Wiley's maternal grandfather had marched with the Army of Tennessee, fighting against Union General William Tecumseh Sherman's army. While he barely remembered him, Wiley spent several summers as a boy with his widow, who often held him spellbound with her recollections of the period. Wiley's family frequently hosted both a Confederate and a Union soldier, who would entertain them with their accounts of what they experienced when each had opposed the other in battle.…
