Beschreibung

8vo. Stiff pictorial blue and grey wrappers. xiv, 274pp. Numerous illustrations and maps. Near fine. First of this edition, superbly tight and handsome. An enlarged revised edition of "The Civil War: The Picture Chronicle," which was the second volume (only) of Newman and Otto Eisenschiml's 1956 two-volume Grosset & Dunlap "The American Iliad: The Epic Story of the Civil War as Narrated by Eyewitnesses and Contemporaries" (which in turn was a new edition of their 1947 one-volume Bobbs-Merrill Company title). Large, bold clipped signature of Newman (1912-98), founder of Chicago's noted Abraham Lincoln Book Shop, is tipped to the title page. A handy introductory volume featuring a month-by-month chronicle of the war years and a brief biographical dictionary on all the major players.
