Casler, John O.

Four Years in the Stonewall Brigade,

Guthrie, OK. State Capitol Printing, 1893. First. HB. Gold lettering and embossed scene bright. Hinges good. Couple of signatures slightly pulled. Overall an exceptional copy of this rare book. / No Jacket. Item #57

This a very scarce first edition, the second edition of later years more common. ITC-20: "The best known, quite possibly the best, memoir of the Civil War by a private soldier. There can be no true portrayal of the private soldier of that Army unless Casler is consulted." Nevins I-68:"…in a class with Billings and McCarthy…" Coulter 72: "…first rate human interest story…" Dornbusch II-1438. Howes 219a. One of the truly collectible Confederate memoirs. Very special and rare.
