About this Item

12mo, brown cloth, gilt titling to cover and spine, unpaginated. Written from an abolitionist perspective, Balme's work offers a concise narrative of the war's origins, major campaigns, and political issues, emphasizing slavery as the central cause and presenting the Union effort as a just struggle for national integrity and emancipation. Hint of toning to pages, previous owner's bookplate to front pastedown, mild wear to corners and spine tips, fading to spine, numerical stamp to lower margin of one page, very good.
