[CIVIL WAR] THE LIFE AND TIMES OF C. G. MEMMINGER

Beschreibung

Large 8vo.; in the publisher's brown cloth binding, blindstamped to the boards, and with titling in gilt to the spine; 604 pages, including the Index; with frontispiece and plates; the boards are spotted; the upper board is bowed at the top corner; a clean First Edition copy with no marks in the book.~~The Nevins bibliography tells us the Capers was Memminger's chief clerk and calls it (as one might expect) a "sympathetic appraisal of the Confederacy's first Secretary of the Treasury"; Eicher is a bit more critical, noting the account has "severe problems" but that despite this, it "remains a useful source on the Confederate secretary of the treasury". (Nevins II, 43; Eicher, 168). Very Good binding. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 298111
