Richmond During the War; Four Years of Personal Observation By a Richmond Lady (Leather Bound Hardcover) by: Putnam, Sallie B.

Richmond During the War; Four Years of Personal Observation By a Richmond Lady (Leather Bound Hardcover)
by: Putnam, Sallie B.

Hardcover. NY, Time Life, reprint, 1983, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, 389 pages. Hardcover with no dust jacket. Dark blue leather bound with gilt titles to front cover and spine. Embossed decoration on front cover. Gilt text block edges, red ribbon marker. Clean, tight copy. The commander of a Georgia regiment through much of the Civil War mused later in his memoirs that the heaviest burden fell not upon the man at the front, but upon the woman who waited and prayed for victory: "While the men were carried away with the drunkenness of the war, she dwelt in the stillness of her desolate home." Sallie Brock Putnam spoke for Southern womanhood. She was a native of Madison County, Virginia, and seems to have come from a family of good social standing. The book contains an unexpectedly full history of the Civil War; the author exhibits a strong grasp of strategy and tactics. But at its heart is an incisive eyewitness account of life in a capital that was swollen to four times its normal population by the exigencies of war. Brock's descriptions of Jefferson Davis' inauguration and the Richmond Bread Riot of 1863 are dramatic, but no more so than her accounts of nameless refugees, race relations, opportunistic merchants and blockade runners. Confederate prisons and family matters. In contrast to other female Southern writers of the period, she was more sober and factual, less gossipy and speculative. She wrote with shrewdness and maturity, and with a remarkable lack of self-pity and exaggeration. Yet the reader cannot miss her courage, sacrifice and suffering. Sallie Brock Putnam died in 1911.

Superweapon: The Making of MX (SIGNED COPY)
by: John Edwards

Hardcover. NY, W W Norton & Co., 1st, 1982, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 287 pages. Since its inception in 1970, MX has been fiercely debated in the White House, the Pentagon, and on Capitol Hill. President Jimmy Carter called it, initially, "the craziest thing I ever heard," and yet only two years later, caught up in the implacable logic of the nuclear arms race, he would approve an expanded budget for its development. John Edwards interviewed all the major actors in this drama, and through his incisive portraits of the scientists, politicians and generals who control the weapons community, he shows how policy grows out of their personal and ideological conflicts.

The Black Infantry in the West, 1869

Softcover. Norman OK, University of Oklahoma Press , reprint, 1996, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 167 pages. After nearly 200,000 African-American soldiers fought in the Civil War, Congress enacted legislation to authorize regiments of cavalry and infantry for service in the West. The Ninth and Tenth cavalries won fame as "buffalo soldiers" in the Indian wars, nearly overshadowing the critical support role of the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantries. Now Arlen L. Fowler brings to light the story of African-American infantry service from 1869 to 1891 in Texas, Indian Territory, the Dakotas, Montana, and Arizona.

The G.I. Billby: Frydl, Kathleen J.

The G.I. Bill
by: Frydl, Kathleen J.

Softcover. Cambridge University Press, reprint, 2011, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 379 pages. Scholars have argued about U.S. state development - in particular its laggard social policy and weak institutional capacity - for generations. Neo-institutionalism has informed and enriched these debates, but, as yet, no scholar has reckoned with a very successful and sweeping social policy designed by the federal government: the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, more popularly known as the GI Bill. Kathleen J. Frydl addresses the GI Bill in the first study based on systematic and comprehensive use of the records of the Veterans Administration. Frydl's research situates the Bill squarely in debates about institutional development, social policy and citizenship, and political legitimacy. It demonstrates the multiple ways in which the GI Bill advanced federal power and social policy, and, at the very same time, limited its extent and its effects. Clean copy.

The GI War Against Japan: American Soldiers in Asia and the Pacific During World War IIby: Peter Schrijvers

The GI War Against Japan: American Soldiers in Asia and the Pacific During World War II
by: Peter Schrijvers

Hardcover. NY, New York University Press, 1st, 2002, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, pages. The GI War Against Japan recounts the harrowing experiences of American soldiers in Asia and the Pacific. Based on countless diaries and letters, it sweeps across the battlefields, from the early desperate stand at Guadalcanal to the tragic sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis at war's very end. From the daunting spaces of the China-India theater to the fortress islands of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, Schrijvers brings to life the GIs' struggle with suffocating wilderness, devastating diseases, and Japanese soldiers who preferred death over life. Amidst the frustration and despair of this war, American soldiers abandoned themselves to an escalating rage that presaged Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The Tin Box: Keepsakes of a Civil War General (SIGNED COPY)by: Robert W. P. Cutler

The Tin Box: Keepsakes of a Civil War General (SIGNED COPY)
by: Robert W. P. Cutler

Softcover. Kearney NE, Morris Publishing, 1st, 1999, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 273 pages. SIGNED BY AUTHOR on the title page. The Tin Box captures the life of George Varney, Brevet Brigadier General and Colonel of the 2nd Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment from Bangor during the Civil War. The book is based on a collection of letters, newspaper clippings, and military documents found in a metal box when Varney's only grandson died. Varney wrote to his mother from June 1861 to March 1863; from the first battle of Bull Run to Chancellorsville; from his capture at Gaines Mill to his head injury at Fredericksburg. From letters to General Varney from friends he made on the battlefield -- Generals Joshua Chamberlain, Thomas Hyde, Fitz John Porter, and others -- the book reveals the life-long impact on Varney of the war that consumed the nation. Newspaper clippings recount the glorious homecoming of the 2nd Maine, the Bangor reception of President Grant, and the first reunion of the veterans of the regiment, held nearly forty years after mustering out. From information meticulously recorded in a tattered notebook found in the box, the author, Varney's great grandson, traced the genealogy of the Varney family back to the 1630s. Among Varney's ancestors was his great uncle and military role model, General Isaac Hodsdon, who figured prominently in early Maine history as the commander of the militia in the Aroostook War of 1839. The book discusses in detail this little-known but important chapter in U. S. history. Clean copy.

Three Months in the Southern States - April-June, 1863 (Collector's Library of the Civil War)by: Fremantle, Arthur J. L.

Three Months in the Southern States - April-June, 1863 (Collector's Library of the Civil War)
by: Fremantle, Arthur J. L.

Hardcover. NY, Time Life, reprint, 1984, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, 316 pages. Hardcover with no dust jacket. Dark blue leather bound with gilt titles to front cover & spine. Embossed decoration on front cover. Gilt text block edges, red ribbon marker. Clean, tight copy. Fremantle paints a reasonable picture of the conditions and loyalties in both Southern and Northern territories. His ability to interview so many of the major Southern commanders, with little issue, indicates how lax security was in the Civil War period. His observations, of the life of Southern civilians during the war is also very enlightening.
