S--- with a cordial greetings of a four generations' friend of his stock. Douglas Southall Freeman.~~There is a previous owner name on the front endpaper of Volume I as well as the label from the Edgar Allan Poe Memorial Bookshop in Richmond.~~Volume I was first published in 1942; this is a reprint from 1944; Volumes II and III, published in 1943 and 1944 are both First Edition copies.~~Therefore this is a mixed set of Douglas Southall Freeman's Lee's Lieutenants, A Study in Command, complete in three volumes, and signed on the front endpaper of Vol. I by Dr. Freeman. Bud Robertson calls this study "The ablest descriptive and evaluative study of the leading generals (and their campaigns) in Lee's army; massively documented, movingly written, highly authoritative, and faintly smug" [Nevins I, 30]. For his part, Eicher considers the set to be "brilliantly written volumes [which] deserve to be read by all Civil War students" [Eicher, 971]. And Harwell asserts that Lee's Lieutenants "stands in its own right as one of the great works of military history" [ITC 61].~~~~~ (Howes F-349, Nevins I, 30; Eicher, 971; ITC 61). Very Good binding.
