Item Description  

Very nice 1st Edition of this Civil War book.  Would make a great gift or keep for yourself!

The book is entitled, "Stonewall Jackson".  The biography of this famous Confederate General was written by Lenoir Chambers.  The book was published by William Morrow & Co. of New York in 1959.  This is a first edition set of books.  The books originally came in a slipcase that are no longer with the books.

This item came from the estate of a party that was a huge collector of Civil War books and artwork.  Also, many items dealing with General George Armstrong Custer, and other historical figures and events.

We will be posting a number of other Civil War and other items that we acquired from this auction over the next few weeks.  So, keep looking to our online store here as they will be offered for sale separately.  Some of the items are Native American artwork, Abraham Lincoln Books (Sandburg and a 9 Vol Collection of Abe's Papers & Correspondence), George Armstrong Custer artwork, and books on the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, both antique and vintage.  Civil War books include a number of ones done by Bruce Catton and Shelby Foote.  Also, Charles Lindbergh books and the salesman sample for the Beamish biography on him.

This set of books is being offered to you at a price below what you would see in a fine book shop or auction house.  We can do that by being a dealer in artwork for over 40 years, better controlling our acquisition costs, keeping commission costs low (if applicable).  Finally, we don't have the overhead that fine book shops or auction houses have.
