"The Virginia State Rangers and State Line, long among the least understood military organizations of the American Civil War, had a brief but colorful existence.

Floyd, ex-governor of Virginia, as leader of this group started the debate." small previous owner's name on first page, dj shows a few light smudges (dj now in mylar protector). ; Limited Edition; 6 1/4 x 9 1/4 "; Signed by Author.
