Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. 1889, 12mo, 302pp. One droplet-sized stain on front cover, extremities worn, pages browned, primarily at margins, else G. There is an inscription on the front flyleaf, dated at Honolulu, December 18, 1889, and the words Capt. and Mrs. Geo. Luce can be read, but the first two lines are not… entirely legible. The author, Geo. Luce, a trustee of the Anglican mission in Hawaii, and his wife, after an absence of thirty-six years from their home in England, returned for a visit. They traveled across the United States, coming and going, but there is very little about that part of the journey. Luce died in February, 1888, before the publication of the book. So the inscription might be by Mrs. Luce, or it might be a presentation copy from someone whose initials are F. A. L, noting that he/she was a friend of Capt. and Mrs. Geo Luce. Signed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. SUBTITLED: With some account of the life of the author and some history of the people amongst whom his lot was cast---their character, their condition, and their conduct before the war, during the war and after the war. BOOK DESCRIPTION: 8vo, 360 pgs, frontis portrait. Original blue cloth… with gilt decorative device on front cover and with gilt titled cover and spine. Inscribed by the author on half-title to Mrs. To. W. Brodnax. In addition, the rear blank pages have extensive notes on material relating to the book, written by an apparently well-informed person; specifically a relative to Dr. John Grammar Bordeaux, a fellow Confederate surgeon during the war. Detailed notes on him and his family. CONDITION DESCRIPTION: Covers are spotted and worn on edges, spine ends and corners. Gilt is bright. Interior is clean and tight. CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: John Herbert Claiborne was a Virginia politician and a leading medical administrator commanding a series of hospitals serving wounded Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War. REFERENCES: KRICK 80: "Although Dr. Claiborne was not an extraordinary prominent man, his memoir is among the best, if not at the very top, of the Virginia books published by Neale which are not exclusively military. The doctor was born in Brunswick County, Virginia, and attended school there and in Leasburg, North Carolina. He also went to Randolph-Macon and the University of Virginia. Claiborne's recollections of Petersburg in the 1850's are the sort of record of which local historians dream. They are intimate and detailed enough to virtually comprise a street directory. His war experience was as surgeon of the 12th Virginia Infantry and as director of a military hospital in Petersburg. Some excellent material on field medical services, supply shortages, and Confederate surgical efforts is recoded from this period. Claiborne was not at the Crater, but digress long enough to render an enthusiastic version of Mahone's work there. A chapter on the retreat to Appomattox contains such which is of interest." NEVINS II pg 215: "Revealing for this observant physician's reminiscences of life in wartime Petersburg, Va.". Inscribed by Author(s).
