Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. The story of a southern Illinois family, torn between loyalty to their southern back-ground and loyalty to their country; of young Jethro Creighton, who bore the burden of a man's work as a boy of ten, when the men went off to fight; of a family, a county, a state, a nation, in the agony of… a fratricidal war. April was blooming in the land when the news of the surrender of Fort Sumter came to the southern Illinois countryside. From that day on the singing of the birds was a crying, and the hard work in the fields was made heavier by the hard news of battles lost and young men slain.

Condition: Very good. Spiegel Grove, Freemont, February 12, 1888., 1888. Very good. - Over 100 words penned on 8-1/2 inch high by 5-1/2 inch wide creamy white watermarked linen paper. The former president Rutherford B. Hayes writes that he has "been a member of the National Prison Association Many years and am familiar with its…work." He goes on to mention that William F. Round had been the association's secretary as well as the secretary of the Prison Society of New York, but has stepped down due to ill health. ".the Eminent secretary of the Illinois Board of Charities has taken the place of Mr. Round, and is altogether competent and worthy." Signed in full "Rutherford B. Hayes". Folded horizontally and vertically for mailing with minor ink smudges to the top corners. Very good. Having served as Cincinatti's city solicitor where he defended refugee slaves in court and subsequently wounded several times as a Union Army officer in the Civil War, Rutherford B. Hayes (1822-1893) was elected as the 19th president of the United States in 1877. He had previously served as a U.S. Congressman and as Governor of Ohio. After retiring from the presidency, Hayes, a proponent of prison reform, served as the first president of the National Prison Association from 1883 until his death. He devoted his later years to promoting good causes, including temperance and African-American education, personally awarding a scholarship to the budding author W.E.B. Dubois.
