Octavo, 5pp. Just about fine in self-wrapers, with unopened pages. A faint "Rebel Archives" stamp appears at the top of the front wrap. Clean, bright pages and crisp corners. This published correspondence between Davis and Secretary of War James Seddon brings to light the desperation at the end of the War on the Confederate side, when they were beginning to press slaves into military service. The Confederacy resisted this for some time, in order to keep African-Americans off the field of battle, which might have earned them some acknowledgment of bravery and sacrifice, thus undermining some of the core ideology undergirding the slave system. A desirable pamphlet. Parrish and Willingham 2298.

Store description
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.…
