Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Complete collection of "Monographs, Sources, and Reprints in Southern History," issued by McCowat-Mercer Press of Jackson TN. Sixteen volumes. During 1952-1969, McCowat-Mercer reissued, in limited printings, a series of Confederate memoirs, published originally in late-19th or early-20th century, and at the time out of print. Memoirs selected represent the experiences of ordinary people of the South, e.g. common soldiers, subordinate officers, and civilians; they provide rich insight to daily life on the southern side, and share perspectives very different from those of the better known histories by the top-rank political and military leaders. These books represent a complete collection of all sixteen volumes issued in this series. Volumes are edited by historians and scholars, and are now rare and prized by Civil War specialists.
