Hardcover, original blindstamped terra-cotta cloth, lettered in gold on front board. 72pp., Stated third edition. Illustrated with portrait frontispiece, complete with tissue guard. The last ten pages comprise a narrartive genealogy of the Fairfax and Cary families. Includes a brief account of Jackson's celebrated Valley campaign. Howes lists this title but reports it as 'Robert' Fairfax, not Randolph. He also notes the the only two extant early editions, 1864 and 1878 are recorded as second and third ediitions, respectively, surmising that the first printing was most probably in periodical form. A very clean, square, unmarked copy. No previous ownership marks. Cloth clean and interior fresh, no foxing, toning or writing. A very nice and well preserved copy of an exceedingly scarce Civil War biography in an early printing. Howes S549. Very good+.

Store description
We are a generalist bookseller who has been selling online since 2003. Our goal is to provide our customers with the best books at the best prices. As a used and antiquarian seller all of our copies are unique and our stock is limited by our ability to source new material from a variety of venues. We strive to describe our books as accurately as possible and have embarked on a policy of adding at least one photograph for each new listing added. Older entries in our database may not include a picture, if this is so please request one and we will gladly send it to you via email.…
