    Description

    Rare Early 1864 Antique Regimental History Book, "LIFE WITH THE 49th MASSACHUSETTS VOLUNTEERS", Berkshire County Men
    DESCRIPTION:
    Nice, really scarce early regimental history book. Published in 1864, a FIRST EDITION and one of the earliest contemporary period Civil War history books and one of the earliest regimental histories ever written.
    A great illustrated book. VERY UNUSUAL AS IT HAS OWNER'S NAME, F.P.KETCHUM, No. ADAMS, MASS. written in the front. Also, signed by W.D. Ketchum, probably his son who it was passed down to. IT OBVIOUSLY HAD A GREAT DEAL OF MEANING TO THEM, AND KETCHUM MAY HAVE BEEN IN THE REGIMENT. Contains 391 pages. Loaded with information about all aspects of the Civil War. Has a great text and very readable for a history book.
    MAKES A GREAT EARLY REFERENCE BOOK OR JUST GREAT READING. A great variety of chapter content and details and information and content!!
    Hard cover. About 5 1/2
    " x 7 1/2". Shows use, but cover is good and binding is tight. Pages are In excellent condition. It is missing the first 22 pages which is unfortunate, but on the positive side it has great content and it is a VERY EARLY 1ST EDITION.
    THIS WAS (AND IS) A VERY IMPORTANT BOOK ON A VERY INTERESTING HISTORICAL SUBJECT, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE 49th WAS THE ONLY MASSACHUSETTS REGIMENT RECRUITED JUST FROM THE WESTERN BERKSHIRE COUNTY.
    EVEN HAS A REGIMENTAL ROSTER IN THE INDEX.
    A VERY HARD TO FIND EARLY, CIVIL WAR HISTORY BOOK ABOUT THE DAY TO DAY FIGHTING AND CAMPAIGNS OF THE CIVIL WAR AND A PARTICULAR MASSACHUSETTS REGIMENT.  It
    would make a great gift for the collector or historian in your family, especially if you are from Mass
    .
    The few attached scans will not do it justice, but hopefully will provide an idea of content. I can assure you that you will be extremely pleased with the rarity and detailed content of it!! REGIMENTAL HISTORIES ARE ALWAYS WONDERFUL READING AND EXCELLENT REFERENCE RESOURCES.
