Beschreibung
15, [1 blank] pp. Disbound, light institutional rubberstamp at blank portion of title page, and ink inscription from a donor at head of title. Else Very Good. A loyal Border State lawyer and Buchanan's last Secretary of War, Holt helped hold Kentucky in the Union. In this May 31, 1861 printed Letter to his colleague James Speed, he expresses "unspeakable gratification" at "the recent overwhelming vote in favor of the Union in Kentucky." Later Lincoln's Judge Advocate General of the Army, he opens a window on activities and emotions in Kentucky during the crucial months after Lincoln's election. The Cotton States, Holt charges, seek to "enlist the natural bent" of crucial Border State sympathies and are "resolved to precipitate a collision of arms with the Federal authorities." Holt insists that the "extraordinary and discreditable spectacle" of revolution is unnecessary, as slavery in States where it already exists is secure. James Speed was an old friend of Abraham Lincoln, who appointed him Attorney General in 1864. Two editions of Holt's influential Border State perspective also issued from Washington in 1861. This Kentucky imprint is by far the scarcest. Bartlett 2223. Sabin 32651. LCP 4913. Coleman 1212 [D.C. 2d edition]. Not in Nevins, Decker, Monaghan, Eberstadt. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 10427
