1895 CIVIL WAR. My Days and Nights on Civil War Battlefields + Two Others. First Hand.
A rather desirable group of three works by important Civil War journalist, Charles Carleton Coffin. He was one of the most influential of the Civil War era, a pioneer of embedded war-time journalism, and his body of work played a critical role in narrating the history of the romance of abolitionism and the War itself.
Three works in matching bindings include:
Coffin, Charles Carleton. My Days and Nights on the Battle-Field. Boston, Mass. Perry Mason & Co. 1895. 312pp.
[with]
Coffin, Charles Carleton. Winning His Way. Boston, Mass. Perry Mason & Co. 1895. 258pp.
[with]
Coffin, Charles Carleton. Following the Flag. Boston, Mass. Perry Mason & Co. 1895. 336pp.
The first is one of his most significant works, being first-hand accounts of the War. The second focusing on the valor of individual soldiers. And the third on particular battles, i.e. Gaines Mills, Antietam, Sedgwick's Attack, etc.
Attractive in three decorative bindings. Some light rubbing, very minor occasional stains. Very solid and clean.
