REPORT OF COLONEL R. DELAFIELD U.S. ARMY ON THE ART OF WAR IN EUROPE IN 1854, 1855 & 1856 - by Col. R. Delafield  1861 Washington  9 1/2" x 11 3/4"  277 pages + 47 large  fold out maps, 16 full page hand colored illustrations along with numerous other illustrations including weapons such as artillery. ( I found one book dealer attempting to sell just the color illustrations for thousands of dollars each!) The book is not without it's share of issues. It has a good deal of wear but appears all is intact. There is a good amount of foxing as can be seen in the photos but the color illustrations are ok. A fair number of the fold-outs have repaired tears. Overall a near impossible book to get especially at this price.

THE CIVIL WAR IN SONG AND STORY - by Frank Moore    1889 NY  - 546 pages + index. VERY INTERESTING READING!!!!   Anecdotes, poetry and incidents of the War.  Large format loaded with interesting stories. I never gave this book much thought until I sat down and started reading it. Now I don't know why I didn't read it before. Good condition although printed on that typical 1880's paper & binding is loose.

THE SPY OF THE REBELLION - by Allan Pinkerton - 688 pages 1886 New York. Excellent copy - absolutely beautiful condition (may have had new endpapers added but don't believe so. Claimed as a True History of the Spy System of the United States Army during the Rebellion but holds many quotes ( I think it may be similar to those historical Civil War movies that always has a little 'Hollywood' added). Very little wear to cover and inside (considering the typical 1880's paper) is in great condition.

Barely a mar on the cover and only a loose frontipiece but still intact. Famous regiment of Gen. George Armstrong Custer this regimental obviously (by the number of pages) doesn't go into great detail but does cover movements and anecdotes from battles along with the regimental roster.
