Pages are clean with black and white illustrations. End papers show some tanning and back inside board bears faint acid staining due to age.

FROM THE DUST JACKET: "In thirty-nine all too brief chapters, charmingly illustrated by Mrs. Florence S. Brothers, Mrs. Marsh has deftly brought to life some four decades of Greenville roots. She has gathered fascinating reminiscences from diaries, newspaper files, and living descendants of fine people who made Greenville history from the critical days of Reconstruction through World War I. Moreover, she speaks with all the loving tenderness of a true Daughter of the Confederacy." (Mary C. Oliphant, Author and Historian). Seller Inventory # 064425
