An imposing large custom-bound 4to volume labeled "Civil War Papers Vol. III" and stamped from the collection of noted Civil War historian and collector, Henry C. Kendall. Kendall's collection was partially distributed during his lifetime to the Boston Library, the Museum of the Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts, etc,. 

A wonderful assemblage compiling first-hand accounts and primary resources related to the Civil War for research and preservation. We can feel the historian attempting to gather up every story of those soldiers, generals, spouses, etc., from the point of the Civil War [the first item being from 1861] through the last widow's death. A fine assemblage. Inc
