Octavos. 623; 644 pages. Indexed at the rear of Volume II. Two volumes bound in original blue cloth with spine titles in gilt. Moderate wear to the bindings. The bindings have some chips or abrasions in the cloth which seem to have been touched up with blue paint or coloring. This is more evident at the top edge of front cover on Volume II as well as on the side of its spine. Endpapers foxed. Text is toned but generally clean. INSCRIBED by the author on the front flyleaf of Volume I, "To S. A. Ashe, / with the author's esteem, / Landon C. Bell / May 20, 1929." Samuel A'Court Ashe (1840-1938) was a lawyer and a Confederate Captain in the Civil War. After the War he served in the North Carolina legislature and was a noted historian, author, and defender of the Confederacy. There is also a signed typed letter laid in loosely from Drewry McKee Smith to Captain Sam Ashe, dated 1929. (This is actually a copy of a letter to someone else that the sender signed and sent to Captain Ashe). Includes the original stamped envelope, which is on browned paper. Unfortunately someone has stuck this in a folded and taped mylar sleeve, and the envelop is stuck to the tape inside the sleeve. The books are NOT signed by Samuel A. Ashe. …

Store description
Pages Past is a small used and antiquarian bookshop holding 10,000-15,000 volumes. We are located a few blocks from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Most of our books are hardback, although we have a few bookcases of paperbacks with recent fiction and classic literature represented. We also have a fairly good collection of Eastern Philosophy & Religion (Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism) as well as New Age. Most of these are recent paperbacks in nice condition. We have a good collection of antiquarian books in the fields of Americana, old leather bound books, and early religious and scholarly books. Shop hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. We're closed on Sundays. We are always interested in buying quality books in very good condition.…
