Beschreibung

First edition. Full calf, spine reinforced with compatible leather piece, without labels. Association copy. From the library of US Senator and officer in the Confederate and US army, M. C. Butler, with his signature on front paste-down. Binding is sturdy and fully intact; text is very good throughout; leather worn off at corners, otherwise wear to boards is light. This volume covers an important interim period, from the reestablishment of the So. Carolina court of appeals in 1860, through the war, to the establishment of a new post war justice system, created by the state's 1868 constitutional convention. That such a book would be of interest to Maj. General Matthew Calbraith Butler (1836-1909) should be no surprise. Butler was elected to the South Carolina legislature in 1860 and climbed the ranks in the Confederate army during the Civil War, losing a foot at the Battle of Brandy Station (1863). After the war, he represented South Carolina in the U.S. Senate (1877-1895), returning to military service in the Spanish-American War (1898), commissioned a Major General of U.S. Volunteers. Due to the size/weight of this book extra charges may apply for international shipping. Ships from Dinkytown in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 303799
