St. Louis: Bryan, Brand & Company. 1878. Second of 1879. HB. Book VG-, Interior VG+ / No Jacket. Item #29

[ATTRIBUTION/UNIT HISTORY-CONFEDERATE] This is a rare book. The first part of the book is a unit history and part two is Bevier’s personal reminiscences. Howes B-412. Dornbusch III-1228. Nevins I-59. Coupled with Ephraim Anderson’s account of this famous unit [see earlier entry], the collector will certainly own the two most important Missouri Confederate narratives. SIGNED.
There must be a connection between this particular book and the author. The book came from Russellville, KY, the site of Bevier’s tomb. It also came with Bevier’s funeral notice, picture of his grave and a funeral notice for Captain W.B. McCarty, a longtime friend, member of the unit, and also buried in Russellville. The book is also signed and inscribed in the front by Bevier.
