Major General Ambrose E. Burnside and the Ninth Army Corps
Providence, RI: Sidney Rider, 1867. First. Has split copyright and publishing dates. Hard Cover. Good overall. Hinges starting, Minimal xlib, pocket residue, however no title page markings. Has a very unusual bookplate, The Johnnycake Trail Collection to restore a flood damaged library. / None. Item #431
General Burnside fell out of favor after his fiasco at Fredericksburg. But somehow (political influence?) he stayed on to command the Ninth Corps. He left at least things for history - his sideburns and the name of the bridge across Antietam Creek.
Eight maps and eight illustrations all present. The plate and portraits are as nice as I have seen.
Nevins I-181.
Price: $110.00
