About this Item
[4],178pp. plus frontispiece portrait.Lacking 8pp. of publisher's advertisements found at the rear of some copies. Original publisher's red pictorial cloth, stamped in black and gilt. Covers stained and soiled, extremities worn. Text lightly foxed and soiled. Slightly later ownership notes of "Miss Frances Dalton Aug. 8, 190[5?], Edith. Colo." in blue ink on frontis recto. Good. A personal account, privately printed, by the wife of a bugler about the Civil War campaigns on the Plains and in the Rockies, New Mexico, Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas, including a unit roster for the Second Colorado Cavalry Regiment on pages 161-176. About half of the men of the Second Colorado had been miners before the war, and the regiment included a single member each of the Choctaw and Cherokee nations. Mrs. Williams and her two young sons were ordered to remain in Santa Fe early in the war, and she describes the hardships of life there and the fears of Confederate attacks. In the Spring of 1863 they were relocated to Fort Lyons in southeastern Colorado. Much of the text is a detailed history of the actions of the Second Colorado in Missouri, Colorado, and elsewhere, giving an interesting view of the little-known southwestern campaigns of the Civil War. This copy lacks eight pages of publisher's advertisements, present in some copies. DORNBUSCH II:166. EBERSTADT 138:171. HOWES W452, "aa." GRAFF 4676. NEVINS I, p.178. NICHOLSON, p.928. WYNAR 466.
