    Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First edition hardcover, bound in red cloth, with gilt illustration and lettering on front cover, and gilt illustration on spine, is in G+ condition, having some sway to front cover and some fading, soiling, staining, and rubbing; spine shows more fading; corners are slightly bumped and worn; back cover also show some fading and surface wear; bookplate of former owner on first fixed endpaper, and both endpaper sections show some foxing; interior pages are mainly very clean, but we did notice what looked like a few shreds of pipe tobacco in some of the gutters. We noticed one bit of the use of a pen in the text: on page 47, the paragraph's 13th line has the second word inked out, and "James VI" written above. The inking looks contemporary. INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR on first free endpaper: "To Roderick Mac Leod with kind remembrances from Dugald Mac Echern. The Manse, Bower, Caithness." Illustrated with 630 b&w "photo-process" engravings. "This Book was at first intended to be a personal and local record, but later widened its scope so as to give a view of the general effort made by Northern Highlands in the Great War. It is not a history, but rather an impression. I only put one stone to the cairn."--Dugald MacEchern. World War 1. Due to the book's weight, extra shipping cost may apply. DB. Inscribed by Author(s).
