New York In The War Of The Rebellion 1861-1865 Officers in the Civil War 3rd Ed

  

The following description (excluding the condition portion) was written by Steve, a fellow ebayer who was kind enough to let me use his description. Condition: this set is in surprisingly nice condition. The pages are just a bit yellowed from age, but not badly yellowed.

The outside covers and binding edge show the most wear as there is scuffing and shelf wear there. The page edge shows a darker yellowing than the inside individual pages.

All six volumes, complete: 5 volumes plus index. If you are interested in New York in the Civil War, there is no substitute for Phisterers New York in the War of the Rebellion.
