Item description from seller

Octavo, hardcover, fine in embossed black leather boards, black leather spine with gilt lettering. Publisher's leaflet laid in. Volume of the Collector's Library of the Civil War. Pages gilt-edged. Raised spine bands, Bound-in red satin ribbon bookmark. Very impressive looking collectible book.252 pp. Facsimile reprint edition of the original 1877 First Edition. One of the riskiest, most exciting operations of the Civil War â and certainly the most profitable â was blockade-running. More than 8,000 steamers, especially designed for speed, engaged in running the Federal gauntlet. Long, low and loaded to the gunwales with contraband cotton, they cleared Southern ports and, if all went well, returned with precious war supplies.

Store description

I have a large inventory of children's books, cookbooks, collectibles, classics, first editions, signed books, history, biographies, science, textbooks, and more. Each book to me is a "precious jewel" and I try and describe it, giving you a good understanding of its content, and also its condition. One example, I have a John Muir book where he has written in the margins all through it to correct mistakes made by the publisher. (this was confirmed by John Muir historic site for me) I have over 50,000 books and some are quite rare from 1800's to 2020's. I've been collecting books for over 50 years and now am a spry 80 and going strong. I try and get books out same day as order comes in and love it when someone writes that they's been looking for a book for years and finally found it with me!…
