About this Item

340pp. Port. frontis of five defendants-- including Lambdin Milligan, whose case the Supreme Court eventually decided-- tried for treason, with original tissue guard. Text printed in two columns per page. Rubberstamp on title page, a couple of signatures sprung. Good+. Bound in later library buckram. "From the supposed hotbed of copperhead sentiment in southern Indiana came spectacular revelations-- some of them probably true-- of skullduggery and treason. Provost marshals uncovered hiding places containing weapons and arrested several prominent members of the Sons of Liberty. [Judge Advocate General] Holt released a report on the Sons of Liberty that portrayed them as a disciplined, powerful organization armed to the teeth and in the pay of Jefferson Davis to help him destroy the Union" [McPherson, Battle Cry of Freedom 782]. This work includes, not only the trial proceedings, but also material on the inner workings and secret rituals of the Sons of Liberty. FIRST EDITION. Howes P394. Not in LCP. Seller Inventory # 34505
