Description

Bucktailed Wildcats.  A Regiment of Civil War Volunteers.  By Edwin A. Glover.  Hardcover, dj is in mylar, pub. 1960, 328 pages.  Dust jacket has small tears at edges, book is in very good condition.  I believe this is a first edition.  The Pennsylvania bucktails were the 1st Pennsylvania Rifles, then designated the 42 Pennsylvania.  "The men, who were mostly lumbermen, brought their trusty rifles and wore a ducktail in their hats.  No one was accepted who did not prove himself a skilled marksman."
The regiment fought in the Shenandoah Valley, the Seven Days, Second Manassas, South Mountain, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg and the Wilderness campaign.  Shipping weight over 1 pound.
I am selling off my Civil War and military book collection in which I have a large number of older and rare histories, including a number of regimental histories.  I will combine shipping but due to the number of volumes the sale may take quite some time.  I have both Union and Confederate histories.  Also some reunion ribbons, photos, cdvs.  My collection spans over 50 years of collecting, now have moved into a smaller home and do not have the room.  Please follow my auctions for more books in your interest. If there is anything specific you are looking for please send me a message.  Also please note that eBay is very politically correct and does not like to have a book listed that has the Confederate flag so you might see some of my listings with something hiding the flag which may appear on the cover or the dust jacket.
