Previous owner has added extra illustrations from other sources (magazine, newspapers, and other books, ass well as US Stamps commemorating the CIvil War).

Freeman's house, freeman himself, and the Servant who tended to him in Richmond; Freeman's typical day, RE Lee's house where he was born, an early house he owned, the death of the last member of the Army of N. Virginia in 1951, etc. Some underlining (mostly in vol. 1, and marginal notes: Fixing the date for Ball's Bluff, that Freeman evidently got wrong in the text.).
