Item description from seller

Navy blue cloth boards with Amish blue cloth spine, gold embossed printing on front cover and spine, 13 pp. of text, 1 color and 2 bw images, in addition to the reproduction of the handwritten pages of testimony. Summarized from the introduction by Maxwell Whiteman: Having lost the lower part of both legs at the 2nd Battle of Bull Run in 1962, Corporal James Tanner learned to walk on artificial legs and eventually became a clerk in the War Department in 1864. It was his ability to take shorthand and the proximity of his residence to the scene of Abraham Lincoln's assassination that thrust Tanner into the midst of the events that followed the shooting at Ford's Theatre on the night of April 14, 1865. VG (Binding has a few edge dings and scuffs, otherwise quite nice.).

We ship books almost everywhere, with the exception of China due to restrictions. Our website mullenbooks.com maintains our entire database of over 150,000 titles dynamically, so you can submit "wants" for books which are listed, but not currently in-stock. It is a major research tool. Despite what Google may indicate, we are only open to visitors by appointment, as our schedules are dynamic depending upon the needs of our valued employees.…
