Description: From Manassas to Appomattox, Memoirs of The Civil War in America by James Longstreet. Copyright 1895, JB Lippioncott / Philadelphia This copy is dated 1896. 9.5 x 6 inches Hardcover, light blue / grey cloth with decorative cover. Cover and titles on spine heavily faded. Front hinge is separated. Rear hinge starting to separate also. First two blank end page leaves are loose but present. Previous owner bookplate inside (Dr. Howard E. Felton). Frontis portrait of Longstreet has a small tear. Rubbing to spine ends and corners... Contains a crossed out signature of Howard Felton, plus a inscription to "Mrs. WH Felton" from "Mrs. James Longstreet" plus a second signature from Ellen Dortch (Longstreet's second wife) A good repair or reference copy, the value is in the association with Mrs. Longstreet and Rebecca Felton. Based on the bookplate, and inscriptions, the way I interpret to provenance and chain of owner ship is: The book was gifted to Rebecca Latimer Felton in around 1897 from Ellen Dortch (Longstreet's second wife), then the book becomes owned by Howard Felton (Rebecca Felton's son) likely after her death. Rebecca Latimer Felton (1835-1930) was the first female Senator in the US., serving only one day, her term passed to her after the death of William H. Felton. 2 loose blanks at front / prelims + v-xxii, 698 pages plus 3 blank leaves at the end. All 30 illustrations AND all 16 maps present in excellent condition. SEE PHOTOS
