War of the Rebellion-Official Records Union Confederate Armies Vol. 8 Serial 121

Description

War of the Rebellion-Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies
Intriguing  compilation of the war records of both sides including copies of original correspondence between officers, battle reports, tactical discussions, political correspondence, and tables of information. Amazingly, the first editions of this series were produced only about twenty years after the Civil War so many of the participants were still alive.  A military historian or Civil War enthusiast could use this as a nucleus to begin a collection or just enjoy this distinct volume.
The focus of this volume is Prisoners of War. The volume is indexed.
The Historical Times and Broadfoot Publishing Company's 1985 reprint of the original, true First Edition improved upon the original by using acid-free paper. The interiors are bright, clean and unmarked. Black buckram cloth covers appear very sturdy, and with sharp and distinct gilt lettering to spines, are quite distinctive.
Serial and volume numbers are at spine bottoms for easier arrangement and collation. Considered to be the definitive, must-have-for-collectors set of historical works regarding the Civil War.
