This lot of Civil War related memorabilia comes from my daughter who is downsizing her collection. It consists of the following (3) items.
- A hardcover copy of Secret Missions of the Civil War by Philip Van Doren Stern, a prominent Civil War historian, who made this little known aspect of the war his specialty. He has woven together dramatic eye witness accounts written by the courageous men and women who participated and risked their lives in underground operations and secret missions for both the Union and Confederacy during the Civil War. This 1990 edition was published by Wings Books, distributed by Random House and printed and bound in the United States of America. It is in very good preowned condition with no missing, highlighted, marked up or bent pages. There is some foxing and tanning to the pages and inside covers due to age but this does not distract from reading the text. It comes with its original dust jacket which shows a bit of light wear mostly to the edges, from use, age and shelving as shown in the photos. The book has been kept in a smoke free home and has no unpleasant odors.
- (12) Vintage Gettysburg Scenes For Correspondence Note Cards - there are (6) different designs (two each) highlighting the Eternal Light Peace Memorial, Lincoln Speech Memorial, Pennsylvania State Monument, High Water Mark Of The Confederacy, Virginia State Memorial and The Soldiers National Cemetery. The cards are blank quarter fold and measure 4” x 5” folded. The set also includes (12) envelopes. Some of the cards and envelopes show slight to moderate discoloration consistent with age and being stored in a cardboard box (as shown in the photos), but this does not distract greatly from the design on the front of the cards.
- Confederate Currency Set “A” Bills - contains unique antiqued reproductions (NOT authentic) Confederate currency that look and feel old. Included are bills from Virginia, Mississippi, South Carolina (Cotton Growers), North Carolina, Arkansas, and Georgia. The envelope gives a brief but interesting history of Confederate currency along with facts about each of the items in the set. The bills and envelope are all in excellent preowned condition with no tears, staining or damage (as shown in the photos). A fun and interesting collectible for Civil War history buffs, or anyone who enjoys collecting Confederate items.
