About this Item

VG/Reprint. Illustrated by Maps and Engraved Views. This is a sturdy, tight clean and bright reprint probably from the 1970s( I can find no other date of printing in book the other than 1862). It is an ex-library copy, more than likely used for on site research. No card pocket, and a skinned area on front free endpaper suggesting removal of a label. Accession info located at top title page is the only marking in the book. Book appears almost new; no wear to red cloth over boards with gold lettering on spine and front. On the back pastedown is a pocket added by publisher to hold 3 maps of fort and surrounding area and an illustration of mortar platforms used in the siege. All items are present, and in excellent condition. Interior is clean and bright, no foxing, no soiling. Stamped on outer edge of pages is "Learning Resources Division-Library". 96 pp., with 8 full page plates of damage to fort, 6 appendices which report various sources of damage to fort, and General Gillmore's report to General Totten.
