HISTORY OF THE ELEVENTH REGIMENT, RHODE ISLAND VOLUNTEERS, IN THE WAR OF THE REBELLION

Providence: Providence Press Company, Printers, 1881. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good binding. A relatively attractive copy of this regimental history. Bud Robertson in the Military Aspects--Soldier's Life section of Nevin's bibliography, considers is "short on military matters but long on personal incidents" and "one of the better sources fro 1862-1863 campaigning around Washington and Norfolk, Va." [Nevins I, 168]. With some foxing to the preliminary (only) pages. And old fashioned homemade private library pocket to the rear endpapers. .This copy is pretty bright and tight. It is from the library of Civil War historian James I. "Bud" Robertson, and has his bookplate on the front pastedown on top of an earlier bookplate (presumably from the private library). (Nevins I, 168). Very Good binding.
